Optics11 webinar: From FAT to Fleet: Making PD Detection Actionable

Featured

Partial discharge monitoring only creates value when it leads to reliable localization and effective decisions, not just detection.

In this E-lesson, Optics11 presents practical case studies of fiber-optic PD monitoring of transformers, using OptiFender.

The session connects two critical use cases:

• OEMs perspective: improving PD and defect localization during FAT
• Asset owner perspective: enabling condition based monitoring and avoid unplanned maintenance or outages

You will see how fiber-optic sensing technology enables high-precision PD localization, pinpointing the exact PD source and reducing ambiguity in test results.

For in-service transformers, we demonstrate how continuous PD measurements are translated into a real-time health status, supporting condition-based maintenance strategies.

This session also covers:
• Implementation and commissioning considerations in both factory and field environments
• Integration into existing asset management workflows
• How decision-grade PD data supports faster fault assessment and reduces operational risk
