Power Diagnostix’s AIAcompact allows acoustic and UHF PD measurements for insulation assessment
The AIAcompact is a portable instrument for in-service acoustic and electric ultra-high frequency (UHF) partial discharge (PD) measurements on high voltage assets
Power Diagnostix’s AIAcompact portable acoustic insulation analyser has been designed for the acoustic and electric analysis of the insulation condition of high voltage assets, such as:
• Gas-insulated switchgears (GIS)
• Gas-insulated lines (GIL)
• Power transformers
• Distribution transformers
• Cable accessories
To be suitable for all these applications, the instrument adapts to a variety of piezoelectric acoustic sensors and pre-processing units. It can be used with acoustic sensors and external ultra-high frequency sensors as well as embedded UHF sensors of the tested asset.
The AIAcompact has a built-in liquid crystal display (LCD) and is controlled by two columns of buttons. The function of the left column is indicated with the LCD (soft keys), while the right column has fixed assigned functions. The instrument is designed as a portable standalone detector,; however, it is equipped with a USB interface so it can connect to a computer and be remotely controlled using the optional AIAcompact software. This, software also enables you to acquire coloured partial discharge patterns as well as report and save screen-shots.,
Every AIAcompact comes with a built-in four-channel multiplexer, which enables you to switch between four input channels. Additionally, the buttons on the panel of the instrument enable you to directly select one of the four signal sources.
