The ICMcompact is a compact, stand-alone instrument for evaluating the condition of medium and high voltage insulation. It is often used in quality assurance and quality control tests at manufacturing sites.
Partial discharge (PD) measurements are a proven method for effective, nondestructive evaluation of electrical insulation.
The Power Diagnostix ICMcompact provides a simple push-button interface and on-screen menus in an embedded LCD panel. The LC 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. Although the ICMcompact is an autonomous unit, it can be connected to a computer installed with Power Diagnostix software to capture screenshots or to implement remote control of the unit.
