Why You Can't Remove Siemens GIS Bushing Cover for PD Testing

As the title suggests, when performing live partial discharge (PD) testing on Siemens GIS using the UHF method—specifically by accessing the signal through the metal flange of the bushing insulator—you must not directly remove the metal cover on the bushing insulator. Why? You won’t realize the dang

Why is it necessary to measure the absorption ratio of electrical equipment?

The absorption ratio is defined as follows: When operating a megohmmeter (insulation resistance tester), rotate the handle at a speed of 120 revolutions per minute. Record the insulation resistance reading at 15 seconds (R15) and then at 60 seconds (R60). The absorption ratio is calculated using the
