Diagnostic Testing of Insulation

The Insulation Diagnostics System, IDA 200, measures the capacitance and dielectric losses at discrete frequencies both above and below mains frequency (output signals with frequencies from 0.1 mHz to 1 kHz are available). By avoiding the mains frequency and its harmonics, this product filters their corruptive effects. By measuring the capacitance and dielectric losses over a frequency spectrum rather than at a fixed frequency, information about the status of the insulating material can be obtained. For example, it is possible to distinguish between different components and also to identify aging processes in the insulating material.
