Power cables are important assets in electric utility transmission networks for the reliable operation of power systems. To prevent catastrophic failures in underground cables and terminations, it is ...

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

The new PD-SG1 first-level partial discharge detection instrument makes distinguishing between PD and electrical noise easy. Designed for use both in distribution voltage substations and EHV ...

With the PD-SGS, BAUR Prüf- und Messtechnik GmbH presents a handheld device for the quick initial detection of partial discharges in switchgear and cable accessories. The device offers two safe ...

Capacitive sensor interfaces are critical to the accurate measurement of physical parameters such as pressure, humidity, and force across a broad range of applications including biomedical devices, ...

As with traditional mechanical switches, a user's interface experience with a capacitive sensor is directly related to the way the sensor responds (sensitivity) upon contact under all operating ...

Capacitive sensing is a contactless-sensing technique with numerous applications, ranging from proximity sensing (Fig. 1), gesture recognition, automotive rain sensors, and remote liquid-level sensing ...
