LDS-6

Digital Partial Discharge Measuring and Diagnostics System for industrial and general HV test floor environments

Applications

The LDS-6 is a highly sophisticated digital measuring system for the Partial Discharge (PD)detection according to the standard IEC 60270, VDE 0434 as well as various IEEE and other standards for the High Voltage Test and Measurement Technology. It meets also ICEA T-24-380 standardof theCable Industry.

  • PD quality tests on high voltage equipment
  • PD diagnosis on developing insulating materials
  • Designed for on-site PD diagnosis tests as well as for manufacturing and research
  • PD commissioning tests and maintenance tests on HV equipment
  • PD fault location for power cables

Application fields:

  • Rotating machines (e.g. motors, generators)
  • Transformers
  • MV and HV cable systems
  • Switchgears (e.g. gas-insulated, air-insulated)
  • other HV accessories / insulating materials

User Benefits

  • Well-known Lemke Noise Gating Technology. The LDS-6 provides two separate channels for real hardware gating. The noise suppression of external noises happens via a separate antenna (gating sensor). These features are already included in the standard LDS-6 delivery volume. No other units are needed and thus no extra costs will apply.

  • Highly-sophisticated PD statistics, diagnosis and analysis software to evaluate the PD in the most convenient and expert manner. The LDS-6 software also includes a comprehensive reference database. This helps to analyze your partial discharge measurement results quickly and easily.

  • Well-established technology due to hundreds of LDS-6 systems in daily use. The LDS-6 is thus field-proven and got high acceptance in the industry (e.g. manufacturers, universities, OEM's). Due to its rugged housing and its reliable software, the LDS-6 is the perfect day-to-day tool under all conditions.

  • Modular design of the LDS-6 allows a variety of measurements. The LDS-6 is expandable with:
    • RIV pulse processing unit (for transformer testing)
    • UHF processing unit
    • Narrow Band processing unit
    • DC processing unit
    • Cable Fault Location Unit

  • The LDS-6 is optimal for HV test set solutions due to its 19" Rack-version and software interface.

  • Report generator for creating customized test reports is optional available.
