HVPD Kronos Spot Tester
Detect, measure, and locate Partial Discharge in minutes

The HVPD Kronos® Spot Tester is a six-channel, synchronous, battery-powered test unit with a rugged and compact design optimised for field portability.
Quick and easy to set up, it detects the early stages of insulation deterioration, providing an early warning against MV and HV insulation faults, and supports condition-based maintenance schemes, reducing unplanned outages, downtime and maintenance costs.
The HVPD Kronos® Spot Tester is a brand new portable diagnostic
test unit for detecting partial discharge (PD) in all types of
in-service plant, including cables, switchgear, transformers and
rotating machines operating at 3.3 kV and above. Cables
The spot tester is a 6-channel, synchronous, battery powered test unit
with a rugged and compact design especially optimised for field
Quick and easy to set up, it detects the early stages of insulation
deterioration, providing an early warning against Medium Voltage (MV)
and High Voltage (HV) insulation faults and supports condition-based
maintenance (CBM) schemes, reducing unplanned outages, downtime and maintenance costs.

time. Available with a tailored training course to meet customers’
requirements. - Data acquisition and advanced diagnostic analysis is performed with
HVPD Kronos® software. A complimentary reporting service package with data analysis for 25x
files in the first year after purchase. - Software displays data in real time, providing immediate feedback
about the insulation condition. Trend spot test data over multiple visits.

Key Features
Short Term Monitoring
Our Partial Discharge Monitoring Server (PDMS) allows short term PD monitoring to be conducted, with remote access via optional modem.
HVPD Kronos® Ultimate Software
This software is driven through a PC for interpretation of your assets’ electrical insulation condition by measuring and distinguishing PD sources. It features a number of reporting and analysis functions including, automatic report generation and the ability to view PD trends and phase resolved PD patterns.
Cable Mapping Analysis
The device can be used for on-line PD cable mapping to locate cable PD either single ended or double ended with the transponder.
MCSA Testing
To increase your ability in assessing a machine’s rotor/mechanical performance, the HVPD Kronos® Spot Tester has an add-on Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) feature – non-intrusive, on-line test technique, used to assess the rotor condition of motors by analysing the frequency content of the current.
