Baur PHG 80 Port PD-TaD 80 - VLF Tan Delta Tester and PD Diagnostics System Package

The PD-TaD 80 portable PD diagnostics system is used in combination with a BAUR VLF HV generator for carrying out:

• Partial discharge testing and location
• VLF cable testing with parallel partial discharge testing
• Dissipation factor measurement*

With the partial discharge testing and the dissipation factor measurement, two effective and proven methods for evaluating the ageing condition of medium-voltage cables and cable accessories have been combined in a single compact and portable device. The result is comprehensive one-step cable diagnostics: early detection and localization of weak points through a PD measurement, in addition to the evaluation of dielectric ageing based on the dissipation factor values. Light, robust, and portable: PD-TaD 80 is ideal for integration in cable test vans and, in combination with PHG portable, is also suitable for mobile use in the field.

VLF truesinus® - A voltage shape for all methods and method combinations

VLF truesinus® is the only voltage shape that enables both reliable voltage tests as well as precise dissipation factor measurements and partial discharge testing. Unlike other voltage shapes, the VLF truesinus® voltage is load-independent, symmetrical, and continuous. This is a prerequisite for high precision as well as reproducibility and comparability of measurement results.
