The ASM-Portable is a Portable Partial Discharge (PD) Monitor for cables, switchgear, and other high-voltage assets. The unit is part of the IPEC’s wider range of on-line PD monitoring systems. The ASM-P can be configured with up to 32 PD sensor channels. If excessive discharge is detected, the ASM-P raises an alarm that can be configured either locally or by email. This enables the long-term assessment of plant conditions to be carried out quickly and easily, from any remote computer.
