TD-Smart

The Doble Lemke TD-Smart Measuring System is a fully automatic, high-precision measurement and analysis system which measures the major dielectric quantities in a wide frequency range such as dissipation factor tangens delta and capacitance.

Applications

Dissipation factor and capacitance testing on:

  • Motors and generators
  • Motor bars and generator bars
  • Power transformers and transducers
  • Cables
  • Capacitors
  • Any other power apparatus or insulating material

User Benefits

  • No manual and time-expensive balancing (e.g. Schering-Bridge) required. The TD-Smart allows a very fast and fully automatic balancing due to its advanced digital signal processing FPGA hardware.

  • Small, compact and rugged design for stationary and on-site use.

  • Complete electrical insulation between the acquisition units and the control stations via FOL-cabling. This provides superior safety in high-voltage set-ups. The fibre-optic links are extendable up to a distance of 20 km.

  • The PD-Smart delivers comprehensive information not only about actual values of dissipation factor and capacitance but also about magnitude and frequency of the test voltage. The Doble Lemke PD-Smart has a graphic user interface that displays the time dependent trend of dissipation factor and capacitance as well as time function of the test voltage.

  • Integrated battery for stand-alone use. No further units arenecessary.

  • Outstanding measuring accuracy of the TD-Smart. This is proved and certified by SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden.
