ICMsystem - Digital Partial Discharge Detector

The ICMsystem is part of the Power Diagnostix ICMseries of digital partial dis-
charge detectors. The ICMsystem is a powerful, versatile instrument for evaluat-
ing the condition of medium and high voltage insulation. The ICMsystem is usable
over a range of frequencies of applied voltage, including power system frequency
(50/60 Hz) and VLF (0.1 Hz).
Partial discharge (PD) measurements Assorted coupling devices, including
