Partial Discharge – Rotating Machines

Early fault detection for safer, more reliable rotating machinery.

Detect faults early, enhance reliability, and prevent costly outages in critical rotating machinery with Megger’s partial discharge testing solutions.

Improved Safety Through Early Detection

Megger’s PD testing identifies early insulation issues—such as loose wedges, contamination, and delamination—helping prevent hazardous failures. Early detection safeguards personnel and equipment in critical rotating machinery environments.

 

Strengthen Rotating Machine Reliability

By revealing insulation degradation early and reducing unplanned outages, Megger’s PD solutions enhance long‑term machine reliability. Advanced tools and tailored systems support proactive maintenance and stable operation across industries.

Advanced Technology for Enhanced Insight

Megger’s ICMsystem and ICMobserver use phase‑resolved analysis and automated data trending to improve diagnostic accuracy, minimise downtime, and deliver critical insights that help prevent future failures in rotating machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partial discharge testing provides crucial insights into the condition of stator windings, detecting early insulation issues like loose wedges, contamination, and ageing. By identifying faults at an early stage, PD testing helps prevent costly outages and extensions of equipment lifespan. 

Megger’s PD solutions use advanced analysis through phase-resolved partial discharge patterns. This ensures a precise diagnosis of faults and actionable insights. Our instruments simplify on-line and periodic tests without interrupting operations. 

PD testing complements other evaluations like tan delta measurements. While PD testing identifies and characterises insulation faults, tan delta tests measure overall insulation health. Together, they provide a holistic condition profile. 

Continuous monitoring is becoming more and more common for critical assets, since it’s providing real-time fault detection and enabling optimised maintenance planning. Megger’s ICMobserver is perfect for ongoing PD monitoring, ensuring operational reliability under demanding schedules.
