The ADD allows for the online detection of partial discharges in arrestors on power lines up to 69kV. It uses ultra wide band radio frequency technology to detect arcing or sparking in arrestors that cause power line interference. The ADD makes it easy to identify a defective arrestor without replacing all arrestors, saving time and money. It provides visual and audible indications of partial discharges and can be operated by one person.

Be proactive
Using the ADD on a day to day
maintenance work to test the arresters when work are performed on any apparatus close by arresters will help you to prevent customers complains and costly investigation to identify the Optional Remote Display source of TV and radio interference. • Wireless Communication link with the ADD • dB relative value Display • Dynamic range of 0-60 dB
