Context and Design Specification PD sensor • Existing PD analyser - few minutes/component PD sensor Phase sensor LEONARD– CA– S1– 0176
Context and Design Specification • Existing PD analyser - few minutes/component • Manual interpretation done by an PD expert • Many components to measure in a vault LEONARD– CA– S1– 0176
Context and Design Specification LEONARD– CA– S1– 0176
Context and Design Specification • Existing PD analyser - few minutes/component • Manual interpretation done by an PD expert • Many components to measure in a vault • Safety concern : 20 minutes exposure time • Specification: Automated diagnosis under 15 s LEONARD– CA– S1– 0176
