The PD Handhelds Revolution

From EA Technology's origins as the UK industry's R&D arm to today, how handheld PD detectors changed the way HV assets are monitored without outages.

Back in the 1960s and 70s, when EA Technology had its origins as the R&D arm of the UK electricity industry, one of its core missions was to understand how and why HV assets failed and how this could be detected without taking equipment out of service: because, it was argued, if we could observe failure processes, we could intervene before failures occurred.

This case study explores the breakthrough moments in the history of partial discharge handheld devices.
