Omicron MPD 800
MPD 800 universal partial discharge (PD) measurement and analysis system, the next generation of the widely-used and innovative MPD PD testing technology from OMICRON.
Advanced hardware and software features ensure highly-sensitive single- or multi-channel PD measurements for reliable, industry-standard PD testing on power transformers, rotating electrical machines (motors and generators), power cables, instrument transformers, switchgear, industrial drives and electrical components.
The configurable, multi-language MPD 800 software allows you to select only the PD measurement and analysis features you need for specific PD tests and individualised reporting. Powerful noise suppression and PD source separation techniques ensure reliable PD analysis in areas with high levels of interference.
The MPD 800 PD testing system accurately detects and localizes insulation defects and helps you to assess the risk of failure in electrical equipment during research and development, factory testing, site acceptance testing (commissioning), as well as in-service troubleshooting for effective maintenance planning.
“The MPD software guides you through the entire PD measurement process on power cables, and it provides you with detailed analysis and individualized reporting.”

♦ MPD 800 Universal Partial Discharge Measurement & Analysis System – Brochure
 Meets industry standards. The MPD 800 measures partial discharge in compliance with the IEC 60270 standard to ensure the reliable detection of PD activity in high-voltage power cables. |
 Reliable noise filtering. The MPD 800 provides you with a free choice of measurement frequency and bandwidths to maximize measurement sensitivity in environments with high interference. |
 Advanced analysis tools. MPD 800 uses advanced graphical tools, such as 3PARD (3-Phase Amplitude Relation Diagram), to separate multiple partial discharge sources for reliable fault detection. |

Mark Henderson (CATU) and Natalie Lundie (Thorne & Derrick International)
Electrical Safety
Mark Henderson (Sales Engineer) at CATU Electrical visited Thorne & Derrick offices today to discuss with Natalie Lundie (Supply Chain: Marketing Lead) how we can work together on some joint marketing initiatives to further increase sales lead generation.
CATU Electrical manufacture electrical safety equipment for LV HV and EHV applications including switching and maintenance work on low and high voltage electricity switchgear and cable systems – the range includes voltage detectors, substation life saving kits, insulating sticks, insulating gloves and insulating matting.
Mark has recently took on a new role at CATU Electrical as a Electric Vehicle Safety Equipment Specialist and has requested the help of T&D to build a marketing campaign around products specific to the EV industry.
