Detecting and measuring Partial Discharge activity gives a unique insight into the condition of MV and HV assets without the need for expensive shut downs or invasive testing.
EA Technology pioneered PD theory and has developed an award-winning range of PD detection instruments and condition assessment techniques that help you achieve greater network reliability and prolong asset life, while at the same time greatly enhancing operator safety.
Our courses will introduce you to PD theory and the instruments used to measure PD in a range of equipment. Take a deep dive into continuous PD monitoring of critical assets and learn to analyse and interpret the data you collect in greater detail.

We’ll come onsite to the Australian location/s of your choice to deliver the course for 10-20 staff. Course content can be tailored to meet set objectives and focus specifically on your areas of interest. Our interactive format keeps delegates engaged, with materials and further resources provided for future reference.
Access the course online and make it available to a wide variety of staff to take at a time that suits them. Ideal for highly dispersed workforces or to use in tandem with onsite training for staff who cannot make the in-person session/s.
EA Technology is a world leader in Partial Discharge detection equipment and condition assessment and has won two Queen’s Awards for Innovation for work in this field. EA Technology are at the forefront of Condition Based Risk Management methodologies that rely heavily on PD based asset condition assessments, and apply this unique understanding of the practical applications of PD monitoring to our training.
