Use of web based partial discharge monitoring to extend asset life

A web based non intrusive partial discharge alarm is used in an Innovation Funding Incentive( IFI) field trial to show a reduced failure rate of medium voltage (MV) switch gear, reduced supply disruptions and increased longevity of MV plant equipment functionality. The benefits of using a web based non-intrusive partial discharge alarm are demonstrated by the case study of two failures that were prevented by use of the equipment.
