of this procedure for a large number of PD pulses, PD sources within the test
object as well as outer noise appear as clearly distinguishable concentration of
dots in a 3PARD diagram.
Synchronous Multi-Spectral PD Evaluation Technique (3CFRD) enables
synchronous multi-spectral PD measurements to separate PD sources. In
contrast to 3PARD, 3CFRD evaluation is performed on a single-channel PD
measurement. Multi-spectral measurements are based on pulse spectra
correlation by applying three different band-pass filters simultaneously. The
three band-pass filters can be tuned to areas with low disturbance level.
Through proper choice of the band-pass center frequencies, it becomes feasible
to perform PD measurements according to the IEC 60270 standard and at the
same time to remove practically all superimposed disturbances. The 3CFRD
correlates the output of the three band-pass filters exactly like 3PARD does with
the pulse magnitudes of a PD triple simultaneously detected at three phases.
Both, 3PARD and 3CFRD diagrams show different pulse-type sources in
separable clusters. Each cluster can be selected individually and the pattern
displayed in a PRPD.
The output of the PD data pre-processing is transferred to a laptop computer /
system controller that enables long-term data storage.

Figure 3-12 "Check of performance using HFCT sensors") by feeding a loop
through the HFCT core.
2. Apply the calibrator pulse of the chosen value. This value should give you a
stable measurement reading with a good signal-to-noise ratio.
3. Make sure that the calibrator impulses are clearly visible in the software as
the highest impulses on the respective unit.
4. Repeat the same procedure for the other two phases.
5. After normalization, disconnect the calibrator from the HFCT sensor.

Operation
3.4.3 Measurement
While choosing a suitable measuring frequency please keep the following in
mind:
► Select a frequency and bandwidth that results in a high SNR.
► Consider the transfer behavior of the sensors in use.
► Check with the customer for specific requirements regarding the measuring
frequencies.
► Make sure to check the whole frequency range to avoid measuring
frequencies with cancellation of the signal due to superposition.
For further information on the sensors in use, see the corresponding manual for
each sensor. Manuals can be found on the OMICRON website, under the
Customer Area → Knowledge Library.
For further information on PD measurements on cable terminations, see also the
following guide:
• IEEE Guide for Partial Discharge Testing of Shielded Power Cable Systems
in a Field Environment, IEEE Std 400.3-2006, 2007

Monitoring Software
Create a new The Monitoring Object contains the necessary information to identify the
Monitoring Object monitored electrical apparatus and name connected channels (Channel
Names).
The setting of Name, Tech Tag and Channel Names is mandatory. The setting
of the Monitoring Object’s properties is optional (Figure 5-6 "Create a new
Monitoring Object" on page 50).
All Monitoring Objects will be identified and visualized by their name. Therefore,
this attribute has to be unique. A Tech Tag is the full written technological tag,
thus an individual tracking number for registration. The Tech Tag must be
unique for a Monitoring Object. The channel name technically defines the place
to install the measurement equipment on the object. The names can be reused
for other objects.
All of the above mentioned fields have a maximum length limitation of ten
characters.
It is essential to describe the Monitoring Object as accurately as possible. Doing
so, the engineer who is in charge of performing a measurement can easily
identify the object and, more important, the right physical connection between
the measurement equipment and the object.

The Duration is the length of the monitoring session. It can be set up in minutes,
hours and days.
The Acquisition Time is the time interval stated in seconds used to acquire all
data for the diagrams. It is saved for the current running session.
The Measurement Recurrences define periodic intervals during the Duration
in which measurements will be triggered to create PRPD and 3PARD
histograms. Those measurements will be repeated as long as the Duration time
has not elapsed.
Note: All diagrams are available in the completed session overview page.
During a running session, all real-time scalar values are visualized for the
appropriate phases.
54
Monitoring Software
Threshold rules It is possible to add new Threshold Rules in this menu (Figure 5-14 "Threshold
Rules" on page 55). Every rule needs a Name and one of the three or all
Channels with one of the PD Values QIec, QAvg or PDEvents must be chosen.
Then a value for an Alert and a Warning must be set. The values of Alert and
Warning can be equal, but it is not possible to set a higher value for Warning
than for Alert. Every value from Atto up to Tera can be set. The values can be
inserted in several ways. For example, it is possible to write either
"0.000000000001" or "1e-12" or "1p" for one Pico. The shortcuts for the scientific
controls are shown in Table 5-1 "Shortcuts".
After finishing all the settings, click Add. Otherwise the settings will be lost. After
adding a Threshold Rule it is possible to set another one. Only one Threshold
Rule can be set for every combination of Channel and Value.
