also by using digital signal processing, adaptive filtering interference signal processing methods to ensure the reliability of the testing data. By collecting different signals produced from the partial discharge in different high equipment, the equipment operation status can be detected rapidly. The tester can be installed for detection with equipment operation and without any effect to the equipment operation.

Non discharge signals With discharge signals When the discharge signal detected by the switchgear cabinet PD tester is too large, the display screen data will change into red, the sensor is saturated at this time. Sensor saturated 4. Background noise Instantaneous grounding voltage may occur outside of the switchgear cabinet due to the electromagnetic signal sources.

from the metal bodies, otherwise it will affect the self-test. In order to make measurement, the TEV sensor shall be vertically parallel to the metal body to be measured. Once the tester is at continuous measurement mode, the readings will be display immediately. But if the TEV sensor is removed from the metal body, then the readings will not be displayed at the screen.
