PDA-IV
Partial Discharge Monitoring
The PDA-IV is a portable instrument to monitor PD in hydrogenerators equipped with Iris Power Epoxy Mica Capacitor Couplers
- Advanced noise separation using pulse shape and time-of-arrival methods
- Frequency ranges: 40 MHz to 350 MHz with 80pF EMCs & 2 MHz to 350 MHz with 1–2 nF capacitors
- Pulse-by-pulse digital filtering to prevent false indications
- Phase-resolved partial discharge plots and pulse height analysis
- Automatic alerts and diagnostics via PDView software
- Fast, safe, non-destructive data collection (<30 minutes per machine)
- Compliant with IEEE Std. 1434-2014 and IEC60034-27-2:2012
- Offline testing with the Portable 16 kV coupler & Portable 25 kV coupler
- Online testing with up to 12 Iris Power 80pF Epoxy Mica Capacitors (EMC)
- Battery-powered operation (12V pack) (optional)
- USB interface for PDView and PDLitePro software
