1. 20kVA (Capacity)

Indicates that the device has a rated capacity of 20 kVA.

Determines the device's voltage and current output capabilities.

Suitable for medium- and high-voltage testing applications.

 

2. Partial Discharge (PD)

Refers to minute discharge phenomena within insulation.

Key features of this device include: extremely low background partial discharge (typically ≤5 pC).

This ensures no interference with test results, guaranteeing detection accuracy.

 

3. Gas-Type

Uses gas as the insulating medium (e.g., SF₆ or dry air)

Compared to oil-immersed types:

No oil contamination or risk of leakage

More stable insulation performance

More suitable for partial discharge testing environments

 

 

II. Main Applications

 

Widely used for testing the insulation performance of high-voltage equipment, including:

 

  • Power cables (e.g., XLPE cables)
  • Transformers, bushings
  • Switchgear, GIS equipment
  • Partial discharge testing systems
  • Power testing laboratories and inspection agencies

 

III. Core Advantages

 

  • Ultra-low PD background: Suitable for high-precision PD testing
  • Stable and reliable output: Ensures accurate test data
  • Cleaner gas insulation: Simple maintenance and high safety
  • Suitable for precision testing scenarios: Meets high-standard testing requirements
