RTD - PD Modules
Dynamic Ratings’ Resistive Temperature Detector Partial Discharge (RTD-PD) Module is specifically designed to detect partial discharge that occurs deep within the windings of motors and generators. Line-side coupling capacitors only identify PD levels close to the equipment terminals. When the RTD-PD sensor is used in conjunction with the coupling capacitor, the deflection zone is increased by the number of RTD’s monitored. This allows a more comprehensive view of the true condition of the machine’s insulation system. The RTD-PD Sensor is applied to motors and generators.
The machine resistive temperature detectors (RTDs) act as RF-antennas placed into a winding and is sensitive to the high frequency component of electromagnetic pulses caused by PD. PD pulses are decoupled from the RTD sensor by the Dynamic Ratings RTD-PD module.
