ICMcompact -partial discharge detector

Description

The ICMcompact is a stand-alone partial discharge detector often used for quality assurance. Among other options, the ICMcompact can be equipped with circuits to perform partial discharge location in power cables. The spectrum analysis option (former known from the SPECcompact) offers a narrow- and broad-band partial discharge measurement with selectable center frequency. The unit offers as well spectrum analysis up to 10 MHz and a selectable bandwidth of 9 kHz or 270 kHz.

Instantly displaying information in an intuitive interface, the ICMcompact is a good choice for applications such as quality control tests in manufacture of electrical products and for quality assurance of industrial and utility equipment; from capacitors and bushings to gas-insulated switch gear, voltage transformers and others. A wide range of accessories adapts the ICMcompact to specific testing applications and noise conditions.The ICMcompact  DSO option can be used to locate partial discharge defects in power cable. Using time domain reflectometry, in which the PD and its “echoes” travel the length of the cable under test, the ICMcompact provides the proportional distance of the PD fault along the cable.Generally, this unit can be used with the full range of the ICM series preamplifiers, covering the IEC 60270 standard frequencies.
