WHY UHF?

  • UHF PD detection method can be used for a wide rage of high voltage equipment including CIS, GIB, AIB, Transformer, etc.

  • UHF PD detection method can detect PDs earlier than other methods.

  • UHF PD detection method can diagnose causes of defect in real time more accurately

  • PD Sensors for GIS and AIS, Noise Gating Sensors, UHF Drain Valve Sensor for Transformer

  • Superior accuracy and noise gating features based on the state-of-the-art UHF technology. Conventional PDMS systems may convert PD signals in UHF band to RF band because their systems do not have performance enough to analyze PD signals in UHF band directly. PDMS systems of APM Technologies include high performance data acquisition units that are enabled to analyze PD signals in UHF band without down converting.
