🔍 Product Overview
The QUALITROL QCM‑PPDM is designed for field engineers to detect and analyze partial discharge (PD) activity in high‑voltage equipment. By capturing high‑frequency PD pulses, this portable unit helps identify insulation defects before they lead to failure. Its rugged enclosure and long battery life make it ideal for substation, transformer and switchgear diagnostics.


💡 Key Features

  • High Sensitivity: Detects PD down to 2 pC, enabling early fault identification.
  • 🛡️ Adaptive Filtering: Four independent channels adjust to background noise and interference.
  • 📊 On‑board Analysis: Real‑time waveform display and PD magnitude trends on a 7″ touchscreen.
  • 🔌 Versatile Connectivity: USB and Ethernet ports allow data export or live streaming to diagnostic software.
  • 🔋 Extended Operation: Eight‑hour battery life supports a full day of field testing without recharge.
  • 💼 Rugged Design: IP54 rating and shock‑absorbing mounts protect internal electronics.

📈 Typical Applications

  1. 🏭 Power Transformers: PD mapping on bushings and windings to assess insulation health.
  2. ⚙️ GIS & AIS Switchgear: On‑line or off‑line PD testing to detect contact erosion or voids.
  3. 🛤️ Cable Terminations: PD scanning along cable joints and terminations to locate partial faults.
  4. 🔌 Rotating Machines: PD measurement on stator windings for early warning of winding defects.
  5. 🌐 Substation Survey: Portable survey across multiple assets with data download for central analysis.

📰 Industry News
👉 Rising Demand for PD Monitoring: As utilities push for greater grid reliability, partial discharge testing has become standard practice in preventive maintenance. Portable PD meters saw a 15% sales increase last year in Europe and Asia, driven by aging infrastructure and stricter safety regulations.
👉 Digital Twins & Predictive Maintenance: Integration of PD data into digital twin models allows real‑time health assessment of transformers and switchgear. Major operators now incorporate PD profiles into predictive maintenance platforms to optimize service intervals and reduce unplanned outages.
