bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

SUMMARY

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull A lot of work continues in this area

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

Online Partial Discharge Test Description bull Measurement and interpretation of discharge and signals on

cable segments andor accessories bull Signals captured over minutes hours bull Monitoring may be conducted for long durations

Field Application bull Online test that does not require external voltage supply (no

customer outage required) bull Testing performed by a service provider bull Assessment criteria are unique to each embodiment of the

technology bull Measurements require sensor placement at multiple locations

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

SUMMARY

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

SUMMARY

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area

Diagnostics of Cable Systems

Online Partial Discharge Test Description bull Measurement and interpretation of discharge and signals on

cable segments andor accessories bull Signals captured over minutes hours bull Monitoring may be conducted for long durations

Field Application bull Online test that does not require external voltage supply (no

customer outage required) bull Testing performed by a service provider bull Assessment criteria are unique to each embodiment of the

technology bull Measurements require sensor placement at multiple locations

along cable circuit

Diagnostics of Cable Systems

SUMMARY

bull Have the correct expectation ndash Diagnostics are useful ndash Diagnostics are not perfect

bull There is no ldquomagic bulletrdquo or ldquoone techniquerdquo bull Today the main goal of diagnostics is to indicate which

members of a target population are likely to have ldquogoodrdquo performance

bull A lot of work continues in this area
