#1: Partial discharge testing vs. monitoring

Partial discharge (PD) is a very reliable indicator of potential failure-causing faults in electrical equipment insulation. Regular PD testing and PD monitoring are used to reliably assess insulation condition throughout equipment lifetime. In this episode, two of OMICRON’s PD experts – Patrick Zander and Samuel Scheller – describe the differences between PD testing and monitoring, when they are used and how they complement each other.
