Possible PD OR stray pulses from external source

detected. The Criticality level is low. No immediate
action required.
Possible PD OR stray pulses from external source

Possible PD OR stray pulses from external source

Healthy cables & local terminations, no action required.
Possible PD OR stray pulses from external source
detected. The Criticality level is low. No immediate
action required.
Healthy cables & local terminations, no action required.
Severe PD detected in B-Phase cable; at approximately
5.16 % from the far end of the cable (we tested at the
transformer end). Inspect cable for degradation &
monitor closely.

MONITOR,

ACTION RECOMMENDED,

TEST AFTER 2 YEARS

RE-TEST

TEST AFTER 1 YEAR

TEST AFTER 6 MONTHS

THEN

* The colour coding is based on our experience & comparisons of identical cables; as there are no international standards yet for on-line cable
PD testing.
* While certain guidelines are based on Peak PD & PD Ratio, PD Criticality is a better indicator of degradation if trends or comparisons are
available.
