We use PD monitoring on our high voltage motors to predict when we need to do maintenance — Or replace the motor. With power companies implementing interruptible power contract for industry, our motors get shut down often, and then restarted, which reduces their usable life. </p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8396&AppID=14&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/products/roadtest/b/blog/posts/tektronix-3-series-mdo---part-3-partial-discharge-analysisWed, 01 Jan 2020 22:43:41 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:104db67d-a2c8-4af9-b20a-121fecb669c5genebren2<p>Donald,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another great entry in your Tektronix Series 3 MDO roadtest series.&nbsp; Using arbitrary waveform generators is typically quite difficult.&nbsp; It would be much easier to use a mathematical description language to build waveforms as opposed to editting CSV files.&nbsp; I once wrote a scripting language to do a similar task (unfortunately, I can&#39;t seem to find any of this work on my computer).&nbsp; Matlab might be able to do something similar.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Keep up the good work!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gene</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8396&AppID=14&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
