PD-RD300A
The PD-RD300A is the newest device in the PowerPD line of test equipment, which provides continuous monitoring of your metal clad switchgear (MCSG) assets. This device detects electromagnetic waves when surface tracking occurs on the insulation system. It determines the PD fault frequencies by scanning the 10 -100 MHz range. Data is collected in bursts (Envelop) by the count method. This trends the measurement of switchgear deterioration and will give early warning to prevent a catastrophic failure. (See images below) Breakdown occurs when your MCSG has defective insulation due to moisture, dirt, and failure of heaters and a lack of a pro-active preventive maintenance program.

| Measurement |
|
|
The composition of PD-RD300A, as in Fig 2, along with a PD-RM (MUX module) can cover up to 16 MCSG
in order to reduce the prime cost of system. The frequency ranges are 10 - 100MHz for measurement
to find the highest PD signal.
PD Counts in Bursts
The high magnitude frequency range for corona and surface PD is between 14 and 80MHz.
The PD-RD300A scans between 10 and 100 MHz, then spotlights and zeros in on the fault frequency. This device then measures, counts and displays the PD Envelop.
Applicable Targets: MCSG, dry type transformer, underground cable and CGIS.
