Noise-Resistant PD Testing for Enhanced Motor Quality
The ST4200 Partial Discharge Detector provides comprehensive partial discharge (PD) detection capabilities. It also enables seamless system integration for motor production testing when paired with the SW2001 High Voltage Multiplexer. Furthermore, the ST4200's PD detection uses high-frequency CTs, which mitigate noise interference common to production lines. Such noise on production lines makes PD detection using a microwave antenna often difficult, and at times, nearly impossible.
Why partial discharge testing is crucial for your EV motor
EV motors face unique challenges due to the high-voltage, high-speed switching of power semiconductors such as SiC and GaN. This causes severe inverter surge noise, putting immense stress on the motor's insulation. Traditional tests such as insulation resistance and hipot tests, might miss subtle issues.
