Prysmian Group has launched an exclusive technology for measuring partial discharges in electrical cables, accessories and equipment.
The new wireless-technology-based system makes measurements without any contact, meaning that the electrical system does not have to be switched off. That, in turn, makes the testing process significantly faster, Transmission and Distribution World reports.
Conventional systems require the system that is being measured to be connected through the metering equipment, taking it out of use while the losses are measured.
