Test & Measurement - Top tips for cabling and test fixture safety
In general, test cabling and test connections must all be designed to minimise resistance (R), capacitance (C), and inductance (L) between the device under test (DUT) and the used source-measure unit (SMU) explains the applications engineering team at Keithley Instruments 
New partial discharge surveyor
Doble Engineering Company introduces the PDS100 partial discharge surveyor, a handheld radio frequency interference (RFI) tool that detects partial discharges (PD) in live high voltage (HV) substations. Designed to work as part of a condition based maintenance (CBM) program to keep HV apparatus operating efficiently and maximize unit lifespan, the
Insulation testers for up to 10kV
Fluke has introduced two insulation resistance testers offering digital insulation testing up to 10kV for testing a wide range of high voltage equipment including switchgear, motors, generators, transformers and cables. The new Fluke 1555 and redesigned Fluke 1550C Insulation Resistance Testers enable users to conduct tests over a wide range
Accurately determined insulation moisture content
Dirana, the Dielectric Response Analyzer from Omicron, determines in a simple and efficient way the moisture content of liquid filled transformers. Accurate knowledge of the moisture content is a crucial factor in the condition assessment of power transformers. High moisture levels accelerate insulation decomposition, decrease dielectric strength and may cause
New records software for manual PAT testers
Seaward has extended its range of portable appliance testing (PAT) record keeping programs with the introduction of a new manual data entry product.
Upping the ante in oil testing
Redesigned in their entirety after a detailed analysis of user requirements, the new range of oil test sets from Megger sets new standards for performance, ease of use, reliability and value for money. The new OTS range offers laboratory instruments for testing up to 100 kV, and portable instruments, including
Power cables - SIMply the best for locating underground cable faults
When a power service engineer is called out to deal with a loss of supply on a customer’s HV distribution network, the chances are it will be traced to a faulty underground cable that has caused a device – such as a circuit breaker – to operate and cut-off the
New performance enhancements to SatRack, CP Cases’ super-lightweight 19-inch rack solution
