- Powergrid companies
Why should you use DD IEC/TS 61934 - Electrical measurement of partial discharges (PD)?
Power electronics has developed along with both control theory and semiconductor technology. Switching is one of the essential features of power electronics control. For higher efficiency and smoother operation, switching times of the latest devices such as insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) tend to be shorter than microseconds. The advantage of DD IEC/TS 61934 is that the method used in DD IEC/TS 61934 involves proper insulation of material so as to reduce the chances of loss of capital, life and property.
Using DD IEC/TS 61934 specification can protect the user from any other conductor and electric leakages.
