Motor & Generator Partial Discharge Testing
DigiStano supports online and offline partial discharge measurement for motors and generators. The assessment is shaped by the machine design, installed measurement couplers, loading conditions and maintenance programme.
Plan the measurement
Start with the asset and the question.
Tell us whether you are preparing for commissioning, investigating a concern or establishing a condition baseline.
- Machine type, rated voltage and power rating
- Available couplers or measurement connections
- Operating load, relevant temperatures and past measurements
- Maintenance schedule and outage availability
Engineering scope
From the test plan to the findings.
Review
Review asset information and previous diagnostic evidence.
Plan
Agree the measurement scope, access and responsibilities.
Assess
Review observed activity with relevant test or operating conditions.
Explain
Discuss observations, limitations and suitable follow-up.
Project requirements
A scope you can review before the visit.
Agree the assets, measurement approach, access, applicable project specifications and reporting requirements.
Why record operating conditions with online PD measurements?
Operating conditions provide context for interpretation and comparisons over time. Record relevant load and temperature information with the measurements.
What should the report address?
Agree the reporting requirements in the proposal: asset identification, test arrangement, relevant conditions, observations, interpretation, limitations and recommended follow-up.
Before you request testing
Prepare your PD testing request
Use our checklist to share the asset details, access constraints and objective so the engineering team can scope your assessment accurately.
