Partial Discharge Testing and Monitoring
Identify and address equipment faults at the earliest possible stage.
Partial discharge (PD) is one of the earliest signs of an emerging fault in electrical systems. Accurately identifying the signs of PD gives you the best chance of mitigating problems before they occur — and the best chance comes from advanced PD measurement and monitoring solutions.
Megger’s portfolio includes tools for accurate partial discharge testing that can identify deteriorating insulation and weak spots in rotating machines, transformers, cables, switchgear, and bushings. Our advanced partial discharge monitoring and measurement solutions can be used to implement condition-based maintenance strategies on-site, or to complete rigorous quality assurance tests to fulfil factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT) requirements.
Ready to harness the powerful searching capabilities of PD measurements but can't allocate resources today? Let Megger handle it for you. Explore the comprehensive services we offer.

Quality you can rely on:
You can be assured of the quality of your asset with Megger’s quality assurance solutions. Whether you’re conducting FAT or SAT tests, maintenance testing or evaluating an asset after repair, our high quality solutions will give you the peace of mind that your asset is ready for operation.

Reliability you can count on:
Equipment can quickly become less reliable over time as insulation ages and PD becomes more common, which in turn accelerates the rate of degradation. Advanced PD monitoring highlights when these faults begin to occur so you can act to improve equipment reliability at the earliest opportunity, without risking unplanned downtime.
