A Failing Insulator Talks Before It Fails
-
PRPD
Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge analysis — characterizing discharge activity relative to the AC voltage phase, not just its overall level

0.3–100 m
Effective detection range, from a close-up panel check to scanning across a substation yard
Three Places Insulation Breaks Down First
Partial discharge tends to concentrate at specific points in the electrical system — these are worth a routine, non-contact scan.
Switchgear & Panel Inspection
Routine scans of switchgear cabinets and distribution panels catch discharge activity at busbars, connections and insulators from outside the enclosure.
Transformers & Bushings
External acoustic scanning of transformer tanks and bushings identifies internal or surface discharge activity without an outage or intrusive testing.
Condition-Based Maintenance Rounds
Scheduled, non-contact scans across a substation or plant electrical room build a trend record, flagging developing faults before a scheduled outage catches them.

-
Plan the Route
Identify switchgear, transformers and joints to cover, prioritizing aging assets and critical circuits. -
Scan
Sweep each asset from a safe distance and watch the overlay for any concentrated ultrasonic activity. -
Classify with PRPD
Switch to phase-resolved analysis on any flagged point to characterize the discharge pattern. -
Log & Re-Check
Record the finding and re-scan on a schedule, escalating any asset showing a worsening trend.

Common Questions About Acoustic Gas Leak Detection
-
1. Why can't I just listen for the leak myself?
-
2. What gases does this work for?
-
3. How accurate is the flow-rate estimate?
-
4. Can this be used in a loud industrial environment?
Any questions? We look forward to hearing from you.
