December 9, 2015 - CBS ArcSafe released PD Alert partial discharge sensor that provides an additional layer of safety for technicians tasked with racking or removing circuit breakers and motor control centers. In the event of a breakdown in line-to-line or line-to-ground insulation, the PD Alert radio frequency (RF) non-contact sensor issues a visual strobe alarm or digital alarm via email or SMS text message.
The PD Alert can be used with any of CBS ArcSafe’s remote racking systems, or it can be used as a stand alone partial discharge sensor for monitoring critical electrical distribution equipment. Advanced signal processing and field configurable setup allows the operator to set do-not-exceed thresholds for partial discharge values, or to issue an alert if partial discharge values indicate a condition that could be dangerous to technicians.
