OMICRON electronics

The detection and monitoring of partial discharges (PD) is of vital importance because PD phenomena often precede an insulation breakdown of high voltage equipment leading to cost intensive outages and repairs.

The MPD 600 Partial Discharge Analysis System is a high-end, high-precision, modular acquisition and analysis toolkit for detecting, recording, and analyzing partial discharge events in many applications. Its versatility and robustness make the MPD 600 the ideal system for both laboratory and on-site measurements of partial discharge in any kind of electrical equipment such as transformers, rotating machines and cable systems (including HV and EHV cables).

The MPD 600 system uses the unique mtronix high-speed fiber optical network technology which provides superior safety, scalability and synchronicity between acquisition units. Read the brochure below for more information about mtronix. 

The MPD 600 system utilizes several methods of noise suppression such as hardware gating, dynamic noise gating and 3PARD, to enable measurements in an environment with high interfaces.

Features and Benefits

Complete electrical insulation between individual acquisition units and between acquisition units and the control PC via a fiber optical network

• Significant improvement in safety and measurement accuracy during high-voltage setups
• Elimination of ground loops and thus reduced interference and higher sensitivity

Fully digital processing using variable-bandwidth filters (0 - 20 MHz center frequency, 9 kHz - 3 MHz bandwidth)
