Sound Library
Electrical Inspection | Example 1
- Type of partial discharge: Tracking on an insulator
- Characteristics: Discharge peaks, usually at irregular intervals | "Crackling" background noise and other irregular "popping" sounds
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 2
- Type of partial discharge: Corona on an insulator
- Characteristics: Crackling sound that is uniform
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 3
- Type of partial discharge: Arcing
- Characteristics: Short and striking bursting noises
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 4
- Type of partial discharge: Corona on a control cabinet
- Characteristics: Crackling sound that is uniform
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with airborne sound sensor BS10
Electrical Inspection | Example 5
- Type of partial discharge: Corona on an insulator
- Characteristics: Crackling sound that is uniform
- Equipment: SONAPHONE with parabolic sensor BS30
