News The HVPD CC15/500 High Voltage Coupling Capacitor sensor for the partial discharge (PD) testing and
monitoring of HV motors and generators rated up to 15 kV. The new sensor is designed for direct galvanic
Videos connection to the outputs/busbars, to allow testing of the stator winding insulation of in-service rotating HV
Agents motors and generators. Permanent installation is made inside the machine’s terminal box, with one sensor
per phase (as illustrated below). The co-axial BNC signal connections are ‘brought out’ to an external sensor
Careers
terminal box on the side of the machine or are routed through cable tray containment to a position on
nearby equipment or walls. This enables PD measurements to be made at any time during operation, without
the need for outage (mounting and external connection unit shown below).

This sensor technology is ideal to be used in conjunction with our range of portable and permanent PD
monitoring and diagnosis systems, for the asset management of rotating machines. The good low frequency
response of the sensor and the direct galvanic connection allows the highest possible sensitivity to PD. The
HVPD Multi™ Monitor is designed to provide a Complete Network PD Monitoring System and long-term, safe,
continuous 'early warning' of incipient insulation faults, without the need for an outage.

The HVPD CC15/500, 15 kV 500 pF (500 pF) coupling capacitor offers a much wider bandwidth than lower
capacitance couplers (such as 80 pF) and are suitable for detecting PD pulses down to frequencies of 1 MHz.
This allows for the detection of lower frequency PD signals from sources deep into the machine windings
within larger rotating machines.
