🎓Measuring partial discharge (PD) activity in your High Voltage/Medium Voltage (HV/MV) assets gives you a clear picture of the true condition of your power assets, so you can schedule your maintenance programme based on actual condition rather than time intervals, saving you both time and money. Did you know that 85% of disruptive #switchgear failures are #partialdischarge related? Once you have PD present, it will always increase and if left will inevitably cause a failure which may be sudden and catastrophic. PD is the most reliable indicator of the condition of insulation within live assets. EA Technology UltraTEV Plus² Hand-held Partial Discharge (PD) Instrument and UTP2-WPR Wireless Phase Reference Unit work together to... ✓  Distinguish true PD from noise and other interference ✓  Ensure perfect phase reference / phase-lock every time, through multiple methods (mains power connection, e-field, Rogowski coil and photo-sensor) ✓ Aids connection wirelessly; UTP2-WPR communicates with UltraTEV Plus² (up to 40 metres away) ✓ Keep working as long as you need to with its long-life battery allowing up to 16 hours operation Contact Acutest - Test Instrument Specialists on: 01782 563030 or visit: www.acutestdirect.co.uk for more information or to arrange a demonstration.

🚨 Understanding the Impact of Harmonics on LV Switchgear 🚨 As professionals navigating the complexities of low-voltage (LV) systems, it’s crucial to recognize the profound impacts harmonics can have on our switchgear and related equipment. Let's dive into some of the key effects: 1. Temperature Rises in Conductors: Harmonic currents are not just extra currents; they are culprits behind increased heating in conductors. This not only leads to higher energy losses but also accelerates insulation degradation and aging of cables and busbars. Over time, this can compromise the safety and efficiency of your entire system. 2. Tripping of Protective Devices: Ever faced unexpected downtime due to circuit breakers or fuses tripping for no apparent reason? Harmonics often distort current waveforms, which may trick these devices into false tripping. This can cause frustration with unnecessary shutdowns and operational losses. 3. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI): The interference caused by harmonics extends beyond physical components and affects control systems. EMI can disrupt the operation of sensitive electronic equipment, necessitating the use of proper filtering and shielding techniques to ensure reliability and accuracy in your installations. 4. Vibration and Noise in Magnetic Machines: Not only do harmonics impact electrical performance, but they also induce physical effects like mechanical vibrations and noise in transformers, motors, and other magnetic devices. Such disturbances can degrade performance and shorten equipment lifespan. 5. Overloading and Breakdown of Capacitors: Capacitors, particularly those used for power factor correction, are vulnerable to harmonic currents. Excessive harmonics can overload these components, leading to overheating and potential failures, impacting both safety and efficiency. 🔍 Have You Observed Other Effects? We’re curious to know more about your experiences with harmonics and their impacts. Sharing insights can help us all better understand the challenges and solutions in managing harmonics in LV switchgear. 👥Connect and Discuss Feel free to connect and discuss more on this topic. Your insights are invaluable in helping the community tackle these hidden challenges effectively! #ElectricalEngineering #Harmonics #LVSwtichgear #PowerSystems #EMI #NetworkReliability #EngineeringExcellence
