Standalone Partial Discharge Detector

A partial discharge detector that provides acceptance tests and PD measurements according to IEC 60270

The ICMcompact is Power Diagnostix’s standalone partial discharge detector. This digital instrument has been designed for the condition evaluation of medium and high voltage (MV and HV) insulation and is typically used for quality assurance and quality control, including factory acceptance tests (FAT), end-of-line testing, and post repair. It is also suitable for field use.

The ICMcompact is primarily intended for the following assets: 

• Factory acceptance tests for MV and HV assets
• Distribution transformers
• Instrument transformers (voltage transformers and current transformers)
• MV and HV cables
• Electronic components (e.g., insulated-gate bipolar transistors)

ICMCompact Datasheet

The ICMcompact has a simple push-button interface and on-screen menus located in an embedded LCD panel. The display modes include a simple PD charge meter with adjustable ‘needle’ sensitivity, monochrome phase-resolved PD patterns for classification of defects, and a scope-like display showing phase-summed charge pulses superimposed with the applied voltage wave.

The ICMcompact is an autonomous unit, but it can be connected to a computer with installed Power Diagnostix software to capture screenshots or to implement remote control of the unit.

To adapt the ICMcompact to your specific needs, it can be equipped with numerous extras and additional functions:

• Partial discharge spectrum analysis
• Partial discharge fault location for cables with digital storage oscilloscope (DSO) function
• Radio influence voltage (RIV) measurement
• High voltage measurement (HVM)
• Analogue gating
• Four- or twelve-channel multiplexer
• Battery-operated and cordless device with up to three hours operation time (Explorer case only)
• LAN and fibre optic serial link
• Auxiliary inputs for recording additional data such as power and temperature
• Computer-controlled software
• Rugged case ICMoutlander for outdoor use 

For greater configuration flexibility, we have created the ICMcompact pro. This unit has a colour touch display and offers a wider range of accessories and additional functions. It also comes available in three housing versions: 

1. Half 19-inch desktop version
2. 19-inch rack mountable version
3. Robust outdoor Explorer case
