AR700

Defect Location in High-Voltage Equipment Insulation by Acoustic PD

The AR700 measures acoustic signals with multiple relocatable acoustic sensors mounted on the transformer. The software determines the defect location using the time difference of all incoming signals. Finally, these coordinates are shown in a 3D model of the transformer.AR700 device is used for measuring of acoustic signals on the external surfacesof gas-insulated switchgears, power transformers and other grounded tank high-voltage equipment.The acoustic signals are caused by partial discharges in the insulation, which is the site of the defects.The advantage of AR700 device is the quick installation of the relocatable acoustic PD sensors on the grounded external surface of high-voltage equipment. The sensors have magnetic holders thus making it unnessary to de-energize the equipment for the sensors installation.AR700 device has 4 synchronic channels for acoustic signal measurement. This gives the possibility not only to detect defects in the insulation, but also to locate them. The 3D location function of the AR700 device is unique for acoustic devices.
  • The signal analyses and the PD zone location can be carried out both in manual and automatic
  • Software calculates the fault location based on the time difference between the incoming signals and report is generated regarding PD source
  • Convenient and handy – light weight, small size and battery operated
  • Can be used for multiple assets like Transformers, CTs, GIS, Cables, Switchgear Panel
  • Defect type identification by synchronised measurement of PD

After excavation, sometimes it is confusing to identify the right cable from bunch of similar appearance cables. Cable identification is very important for safety of field personnel – Cutting a wrong cable can be fatal. So, we require a Cable Identification System having current direction facility to identify the wanted cable.Cable Identification is the most critical and safety related sequence during all the procedure of cable fault location. The correct identification of a cable out of a bundle of cables, where most of them can be cables in service, has to be carried out not only carefully, but also by means of an instrument widely eliminating the possibility of human error or misinterpretation.The Cable Identification System, CFL CIS from SCOPE is the ultimate solution for identifying wanted cable from a bunch of cables in a trench, pit or cable rack. The SCOPE’s Cable Identification System CFL CIS is designed to fulfill these most important safety aspects.

MagD is specially designed to cater the needs of testing of Instrument Transformers. Before new systems are put into service or after any occurrence of fault, Instrument Transformers need to be tested for their outputs. It is to be ensured that Instrument Transformers give proper outputs to protection relays.
