QCM-C-PD-Survey Service - Partia discharge monitoring for underground power cabes System overview Sensors Data Acquisition Unit Anaysis System Transponder HFCT sensors detect the high frequency signas induced from any PD puse inside the cabe insuation and send to data acquisition unit for further anaysis. TEV sensors are used to detect the corona and surface discharge. It heps in differentiating PD activity inside the insuation from corona and surface discharge The DAU takes the signa from sensors and appies fitering and noise gating to reject interference. The digitised high frequency puse is then sent to the Anaysis System for further anaysis The PD anaysis system determines if the high frequency signa is a PD signa or not. It stores a PD signas with their parameters for trend anaysis. The PD anaysis system aso ocates the faut aong the cabe with an accuracy of ess than 0.2% to 1% of the tota cabe ength The Transponder is used for PD ocaization in cases of ong cabes > 3 km (1.8 mies). It injects the puse back after receiving the actua PD signa in order to make comparison simper for the system Transponder PD anaysis system (instaed in Laptop) Accessories kit The measuring method Quaitro system experts are capabe of detecting and ocating partia discharge in a kind of HV/MV cabes: XLPE, EPR, PVC, PILC, etc. cabe Singe core and muti core cabe Cabes of any ength or any number of joints PD measurements are made using HFCT and TEV/UHF sensors that are camped over the earth screen. HF Signas are captured synchronousy enabing the test engineer to observe phase-reated patterns of discharge, onine and in rea-time The Expert anaysis system provides an automatic PD detection and criticaity eve for the cabe based on magnitude and number of PD puses per power cyce. Quaitro experts and the PD anaysis system together are capabe of differentiating PD activity from externa noise and oca discharges, e.g. corona, surface discharge, switchgear PD, etc The Time Domain Refectometry (TDR) agorithm is used to accuratey ocate the PD to an accuracy of ess than 0.2% to 1% of the cabe ength The Transponder is used at the other end of the cabe section to keep the simiar accuracy of ocaisation in the onger cabe sections (greater than 3 km)
