2.1 Partial discharge measurement
Partial discharge phenomena, as defined by IEC60270, are localized dielectric breakdowns of a small
portion of a solid or liquid electrical insulation system under high-voltage stress.
The detection of partial discharge is of vital importance because partial discharge phenomena often
precede an insulation breakdown of high-voltage equipment leading to cost-intensive outages and
repairs.
2.2 System overview
Designated use
The MPD 800 system is an acquisition and analysis system for detecting, recording, and analyzing
partial discharge events in many applications. It is suited for type and routine testing in high-voltage
laboratory or test bays and especially for on-site high-voltage commissioning and acceptance testing on
various high- and medium-voltage assets in various areas of primary applications.
The general use of the MPD 800 system is described by referring to the general partial discharge
measurement setup (see 2.3 "Application" on page 34).
