Most modern non-destructive partial discharge diagnostics (PD)
Identification and precise location of partial discharges in cable systems
Measures PD levels and locates PD sources reliably over the entire cable line
Very easy operation via BAUR’s diagnostics software
Easy-to-transport, 3-part design
Optimal in combination with BAUR’s mobile VLF truesinus® test generators frida or viola

A small step from testing to diagnostics. With BAUR’s partial discharge diagnostics system PD Portable.

The portable system for locating partial discharges, PD Portable, was developed by BAUR as an extension for VLF test generators frida and viola. The background of this modular design is the development from pure testing all the way up to systematic cable testing and diagnostics. BAUR supports power utilities to optimize networks maintenance strategies. This becomes more important with ever increasing competition. The corresponding requirements placed on supply quality ask for extensive cable diagnostics. This is offered by the combination of VLF generators with partial discharge level and position measurement.

Efficient maintenance by the world-leading PD diagnostics technology with BAUR’s VLF truesinus®.

One challenge for power utilitys is to achieve higher network security with less maintenance expenses. In this regard, BAUR supports power utilities in implementing condition-based maintenance with its VLF truesinus® diagnostic systems. The aim is to carry out retrofitting or maintenance only if absolutely necessary. In this regard exact current and trend analyses of
cable systems are necessary. A simple step to achieve this are the mobile BAUR cable diagnostics systems.
The benefits for power utilities are obvious with: Small investments in measurement technology a longer life time
of cable lines with unchanged system stability is achieved. Maintenance and operating expenses are reduced significantly.
