BENEFITS

• Essential equipment for power engineers • Rapidly identifies the source of PD activity • Identifies multiple sources of PD activity • Quantifies the level of PD activity • Locates faults before they lead to failures • Portable and easy to use • Ideal companion to the PD Monitor™ for detailed assessment of asset condition

FEATURES

DUAL MODE OPERATION

• SINGLE PROBE - measures the magnitude of the TEV signal
• DUAL PROBE MODE - locates the site of discharge, using two hand held, capacitively coupled probes, 600mm or more apart, by calculating time of flights variations between discharge pulses relative to the probes
• Easy to use

PORTABLE & VERSATILE

• Rechargeable internal battery
• Vehicle charger available
• Serial Interface

INCLUDED IN THE KIT

• FREE Function Checker - automatically tests functions, accuracy and timing
• Probes
• Battery Charger
• Carry case and accessories case
• Comprehensive instruction manual

OVERVIEW

The PD Locator TM works by detecting and measuring Transient Earth Voltage signals (TEV), given off when insulation material in high voltage assets degrades - a sure sign of potentially damaging PD activity.

Fact: 85% of disruptive failures in HV/MV assets are PD-related.
Fact: The PD Locator™ is the world’s best selling tool for pinpointing the source of PD activity non-intrusively.
