PDL 650

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the PDL 650, a device used for acoustic partial discharge (PD) fault localization in high-voltage equipment. It highlights the importance of detecting insulation issues before failure and the role of PD signals in identifying fault locations.

Specifications
The PDL 650 is lightweight, battery-operated, and supports up to 16 measurement channels. It can be combined with MPD 800 or MPD 600 for enhanced measurements. The device transfers data via fiber optics, ensuring electrical isolation and interference-free operation. It records measurements for later analysis and generates test reports easily.

Technical Data
- Measurement Bandwidth: 10 kHz to 400 kHz
- Amplification: 0, 20, 36 dB
- Battery Life: Over 4 hours
- Dimensions: 170 x 61 x 300 mm
- Weight: 2.0 kg
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 45°C
- Storage Temperature: -10°C to 70°C

Procedures
The PDL 650 uses multiple acoustic sensors to locate faults by comparing data and calculating the fault location based on signal time differences. It provides results in a 3D view, with sensors that can be magnetically mounted.

Standards and Compliance
The device complies with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, TÜV, and EMAS standards, ensuring high safety and security. It undergoes routine testing and burn-in tests before delivery.

Recommendations
For precise fault localization, it is recommended to combine acoustic PD measurements with MPD systems and UHF measurements. This integration enhances the accuracy of fault detection.

PDL 650-2

Identifying problems within steel walls As a result of increased demand for power, high voltage equipment is being subjected to ever greater stress. Careful inspections are therefore essential, both for the initial on-site acceptance test and throughout the many years during which the equipment is used. Any faults present can be localized using acoustic partial discharge measurement. Electrical equipment must meet tough requirements With only 1 % to 2 % failures per year, transformers are generally classed as extremely reliable. However, just like other electrical components, the risk of a failure...

Replacing intuition with empirical evidence Network operators and manufacturers often wish to have necessary repairs performed directly on site. However, this requires knowing the precise location of the fault. Tracking down the fault Safe operation Making precise partial discharge measurements is one step closer to determining fault locations. Depending on the test object and environment, OMICRON offers the MPD 800 and MPD 600 for these electrical measurements. The PDL 650 transfers all data to the PC using fiber optics. This means that the operator is electrically isolated from the high voltage....
