ADD
Online Direct Contact PD Test System
The ADD allows online partial discharge detection on medium voltage accessories such as: Arresters, dry
type transformers , bushings, insulators, etc... The partial discharge level is displayed by visual and audible
indicators. The remote display module also allows to read the levels from a great distance for maximal safety.
EASY TO USE
