The Megger MPD SCAN (1012 889) Handheld Partial Discharge Scanner Kit offers a lightweight, robust and portable partial discharge scanner that can quickly inspect various types of equipment for partial discharge signals.

Defects in medium and high voltage systems not only require costly repairs, but can lead to failures of network sections with corresponding consequences. Therefore, it is in the interest of all network operators to recognize signs of impending defects as early as possible and to be able to take appropriate countermeasures in time.

The MPD Scan is used for the early detection of partial discharges emanating from defects in medium voltage switchgears and other electric equipment. For this purpose, the device has two internal sensors (TEV, airborne acoustic) and can also be operated with various types of external sensors.

The operation of the device is simple: it can be controlled via the three soft keys as well as via the intuitive touch display. Thanks to the auto-recognition of the connected external sensor, malfunction operation, as well as bothersome browsing through individual screens, can be eliminated.

A large variety of sensors allows the MPD Scan to be used for multiple application ranges. PD within the cable insulation can be detected using the HFCT sensor. Partial discharges in switchgears can be measured by using the TEV sensor and corona and surface discharges in MV and HV systems can be identified with the parabolic acoustic sensor.

The variety of sensors have made this handheld scanner a unique measuring device. To support the end user, measurement data will be automatically evaluated and interpreted, and pictures of the identified defects can be made and directly integrated into the report by using the integrated camera. Furthermore, the QR code scanner can directly take over the switchgear/asset data; there is no need to inconveniently rename the folder for each different test object. Make life easier by reducing the number of loose cables in the workspace through using the comfortable Bluetooth headset, which can also be used with a helmet.

Establishing detailed and individual test reports can be performed quickly by using the supplied MeggerBook RE reporting software.
