Partial Discharge monitoring has become an important tool for condition based maintenance on generators by identifying risks of failure caused by abrasion of insulation, loose stator windings, thermal degradation of insulation and manufacturing defects.
Iris Power online partial discharge monitoring instruments have accurately identified problems on many hundreds of generators with hundreds of case studies and dozens of published papers by Iris Power customers that confirm Iris Power partial discharge monitoring instruments can help:
• Prioritize assets needing immediate maintenance
• Identify and repair damage at an earlier stage
• Avoid in-service failures
• Reduce outage frequency when results are good
• Obtain information regarding the type and location of maintenance required prior to outages
• Reduce overall cost of maintenance
