How well do you really know what's happening within your high-voltage assets? Partial discharge (PD) is one of the most critical early-warning indicators of insulation defects in HV equipment – and catching it early can prevent catastrophic failures, unplanned outages, and safety risks. Different types of assets — like transformers, switchgear, cables, and rotating machines — can exhibit different types of PD activity. That’s why choosing the right sensor for each asset is so important for accurate detection and early warning. This in-depth article from IPEC's Support Manager Christopher Williams-Hall breaks down the dominant PD types in each asset and maps them to the most effective sensors. Whether you're managing a fleet of substations or looking to deepen your condition monitoring strategy, this article is a must-read.

Why should you used a dv/dt filter on your VFD application (such as the TCI V1K supplied by Applied Industrial Controls)? As Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Drives are incorporated into various applications and processes, the increased energy savings and decreased maintenance on drives can be offset by increases in motor failures. Voltage wave reflection is a function of the voltage rise time (dV/dt) and the length of the motor cables. The impedance on either end of the cable run does not match, causing voltage pulses to be reflected back in the direction from which it arrived. As these reflected waves encounter other waves, their values add, causing higher peak voltage. As wire length or carrier frequency increases, the overshoot peak voltage also increases. Peak Voltages on a 460 V system can reach 1200 to 1600 V, causing rapid breakdown of motor insulation, leading to motor failure. On 575 V systems, the peak voltages can easily reach 2100 V. If this is left uncontrolled, insulation failure will occur. https://aic-controls.com/ https://lnkd.in/efkpssy8 #automation #VFD #VFDs #motors #motorcontrols #power #powerquality #smartgrid #voltage #TCI #industrialcontrols #engineering #electrical #acdrive ##industrialautomation #variablefrequencydrives #inverter #variablefrequencydrive #variablespeeddrives #energyrecovery #energy #motorlife #motor #water #wastewater #harmonics
