The MPD 500 partial discharge measuring system has been specially designed for providing fast and reliable results in a high-
throughput environment. As a new member of the successful OMICRON MPD family with hundreds of systems worldwide in daily use,
the MPD 500 is the ideal solution for state-of-the-art routine testing, clear pass / fail decisions and most easy reporting.
Partial Discharge Measurement
Reliable evaluation of insulating systems
PD – Partial Discharges are defined as localized electrical
discharge that only partially bridge the insulation between
conductors, often preceding an insulation breakdown.
Therefore PD measurements are well established and widely
accepted for quality assurance and factory testing of medium-
and high-voltage assets.
Modern PD measurement systems based on apparent
charge [pC], in accordance with IEC 60270, reveals faulty spots in
electrical insulations with a high degree of sensitivity.
RIV – Radio Influence Voltage measurements express partial
discharge activities as a voltage that appears on conductors of
electric equipment. The RIV value is displayed in µV according to
CISPR 16-1-1 and the still referenced NEMA 107-1987.
The most convenient way to measure PD
As the newest member of OMICRON's successful
PD measurement family, the MPD 500 benefits from the
experience of hundreds of MPD units in daily use by major
cable-, transformer-, and rotating machine manufacturers
worldwide.
By incorporating a wide range of leading-edge technologies,
highly sensitive and accurate results can be obtained by the
MPD 500 as easily as operating a voltmeter.
The user-friendly software provides full remote control of
the measurement devices and delivers very easy automated
reporting of PD / RIV measurements. The MPD 500 also holds
simultaneous multi-channel abilities, without the need for a
multiplexer.
