On-line PD Survey

On-line Partial Discharge Survey

Partial Discharge can form as equipment ages and is often not spotted during regular maintenance of equipment. Conducting a PD Survey will detect defects in in-service assets.

It is important to combine regular maintenance and PD testing of equipment. Often customers do not want to conduct PD testing themselves, IPEC’s PD survey service can be integrated into the asset manager’s maintenance and testing process.

IPEC’s service team has many years of PD experience and conducts PD testing and surveying in the UK and abroad. Unlike cable PD testing or switchgear PD testing our PD survey service is designed as a regular maintenance tool for your cable and/or switchgear assets, allowing IPEC to take responsibility for the PD testing and analysis of your equipment.

The service will take up to 1 day on site per substation, depending on the size.
Service will be conducted by IPEC and/or Appointed Agent Engineers
