“Lightweight, compact, powerful and easy to handle” were the criteria when the engineering team of BAUR GmbH were developing the new device - PD-TaD60 - for partial discharge measurement and location.

Partial discharge (PD) measurement has been used for several decades to assess the condition of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) electrical apparatus. In the past, the application was mostly ...

Power cables are important assets in electric utility transmission networks for the reliable operation of power systems. To prevent catastrophic failures in underground cables and terminations, it is ...

Lithium-ion cells gradually discharge even when they are not connected to anything. Some self-discharge is normal. However, excess self-discharge indicates potentially catastrophic problems within the ...

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

One characteristic of lithium-ion cells is a phenomenon called self-discharge. The concept of self-discharge is simple: Take a cell, charge it up, measure its open-circuit voltage (OCV), and let it ...

The OCV of the cell is determined by the cell’s state-of-charge (SoC). However, the temperature of the cell is another important factor, as the cell’s OCV will vary with temperature. This effect is ...
