Online Partial Discharge (PD) Monitoring
Prevent Failures
Reduce Downtime
Ensure Safety
Reliable Solutions for Electrical Asset Safety
At Petrozone, we offer reliable solutions to ensure the safety and efficiency of your electrical assets. Over time, electrical equipment can develop faults due to hidden partial discharges (PD)—tiny sparks within insulation that can escalate into major failures. Our Online Partial Discharge Monitoring System detects these issues early, preventing unexpected breakdowns and ensuring smooth operations.
Understanding Partial Discharge (PD)
Partial discharge is a small electrical spark that occurs inside the insulation of high-voltage equipment like transformers, switchgear, and cables. Over time, these tiny sparks weaken insulation, leading to failures, costly repairs, and unplanned downtime.
The Importance of PD Monitoring
✔ Early Fault Detection – Find problems before they cause failures.
✔ Extend Equipment Lifespan – Reduce stress on insulation and avoid premature breakdowns.
✔ Minimize Downtime – Prevent sudden power outages and costly shutdowns.
✔ Improve Safety – Reduce the risk of dangerous electrical faults.
How Our PD Monitoring System Works
🔹 Detect PD Activity – Advanced sensors continuously scan for hidden partial discharges (sparks) inside your electrical equipment, ensuring no issue goes unnoticed.
🔹 Analyze the Problem – A powerful processor analyzes the sensor data, measuring the size, frequency, and location of the issue to pinpoint the exact problem.
🔹 Real-Time Monitoring – A 7-inch touchscreen provides live monitoring of critical data, allowing engineers to track PD activity instantly. The system also triggers automatic alarms to prevent failures before they happen.
🔹 Data Logging & Analysis – The system records all PD activity for historical tracking and analysis. Engineers can use this data to understand root causes, predict failures, and plan maintenance proactively.
Applications of Online PD Monitoring
- Transformers – Detect insulation breakdown early to prevent oil contamination and core damage.
- Switchgear (MV & HV) – Identify faults before they escalate into catastrophic failures.
- Power Cables – Monitor cable joints and insulation for hidden degradation.
- Generators & Motors – Ensure smooth operations and avoid costly repairs.
- Substation Equipment – Keep critical power distribution systems safe and reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Many vendors struggle with late detection of PD issues, lack of proper monitoring tools, and unavailability of skilled technicians to interpret PD data. This often leads to unexpected failures, costly repairs, and unplanned downtime. Petrozone solves these challenges by providing a turnkey PD monitoring solution, including installation, training, and continuous support.
If your facility uses high-voltage equipment like transformers, switchgear, or power cables, PD monitoring is essential to prevent failures and extend equipment lifespan. Industries like oil & gas, utilities, and industrial plants benefit significantly from PD monitoring.
- Offline PD Testing requires shutting down equipment for inspection, making it unsuitable for critical assets.
- Online PD Monitoring works in real-time, 24/7, detecting early signs of failure without interrupting operations.
