Advanced Partial Discharge Measuring System MPD 600
• Make sure that the “Input Protection” option is checked. You may uncheck this option for
very sensitive measurements but the PD input of the acquisition unit is then somewhat
more sensitive to damage by electrical surges.
• Go to the “Settings” tab. For “Mode” select “Unipolar Logarithmic”.
• Set QMax (maximum charge displayed) to 1nC.
• Set QMin (minimum charge registered and displayed) to 1pC.
• Optionally, check the “Show individual PD events” option. Individual PD events will then
be shown as phase and amplitude resolved “spikes” in real time.
Now change to the calibration settings by selecting the “Calibration” tab.

• Uncheck the “Enable test generator” option.
• Check the “External” quadripole configuration option.
