Sept. 15, 2018

HAEFELY HIPOTRONICS launched a new Basic Partial Discharge Calibrator

HAEFELY HIPOTRONICS, a developer and provider of high voltage test systems and measuring devices, announces the launch of the new Basic Partial Discharge Calibrator – KAL 9511. KAL 9511 is a successor to the Tettex 9216. KAL 9511 covers a wide range of applications.

It is compact, easy to use and has the same long battery operation capability of Tettex 9216 but offers higher performance by using an injection capacitance more than 10 times smaller. It has a higher Signal to Noise Ratio than the recommended current and proposed future standards.

The KAL 9511 is optimized for factory tests:
• Power and Distribution Transformers
• Instrument Transformers
• Rotating Machines
• Switchgears
• Surge Arrestors
• Bushings
• Generator Bars
• HV components and parts
