Power Line Carrier (PLC) communication uses the low-voltage distribution network. It is completely irrelevant what standard or proprietary protocol is used. Meter reading systems use the same frequency band and distribution system, which always has similar characteristics and behavior. What influences the effectivity of PLC communication? Among the influences that affect data transmission from e-meters […]

We were tasked to provide continous online partial discharge monitoring system, to enhance the safety and reliability of a vital energy distribution point in Poland. Site inspection led us to deploy the PD Doctor system within a 15 kV transformer station, and subsequent to a successful installation, a period of stable discharge activity was observed. […]

☕ 📰 Partial discharges (PD) represent a critical concern in railway traction systems due to their potential to degrade insulation, leading to equipment failure and safety hazards. Understanding the determination and influence of PD in these systems is crucial for ensuring reliable and safe operation.☕ 📰 How to determine partial discharges? 💻 Firstly, the determination […]

Partial discharge (PD) is a type of electrical breakdown that occurs when only part of the insulation between two conductors is damaged. This results in localized increase in electrical current, which can cause damage to the surrounding insulation. Partial discharge can occur in any type of electrical equipment but is most commonly found in high-voltage […]
