The synchronization equipment CSS-GPS contains the necessary electronics for communication and synchronization of partial discharge measurements between the CPU of the Control Analysis System CAS and measurement systems MS.
Communication between the control CPU and the MS is performed through a converter Ethernet to optical fiber. The synchronism between measurement systems MS is accomplished by transmitting pulses on fiber optic. The CSS-GPS equipment has a PPS output for the synchronization of MS that permits to obtain analysis of PD location and PD ratio between discharges obtained with measurement systems of BlueBOX technology that work with GPS synchronization.
Also CSS-GPS can be used to calibrate the propagation delays of the synchronization signal through optical fiber.
The company ‘Diagnóstico del Aislamiento Eléctrico, S.L.’ (DIAEL) grew out from a research sponsored in 2006 by ‘Unión Fenosa Distribución’ (UFD) in the field of partial discharges which was developed within the ‘Polytechnic University of Madrid’ (UPM) in close collaboration with the ‘Laboratorio Central Oficial de Electrotecnia’ (LCOE). Such research materialized in a new system of measurement and monitoring of partial discharges for High Voltage cables. Additional researches conducted between 2009 and 2012 have allowed to extend the developments to the field of cables to the areas of Power Transformers and Gas-Insulated Substations (GIS). Also, DIAEL has expanded its range of products and services in the area of High Voltage testing and measuring techniques with temperature measuring equipments by means of optical fiber, systems of generation and measurement of lightning impulses, etc. DIAEL is a spin-off of the UPM with headquarters in Madrid created in 2010, specialized in measurement techniques of high technological level based in the signal processing. DIAEL is advised by a committee of experts with extensive experience in the field of high voltage tests and measurements formed by professors and high qualified personnel. DIAEL participates actively in numerous national and international conferences (CIGRE, CIRED, SMART GRIDS, ALTAE, MATELEC, …). DIAEL has expanded its international sales network by establishing agreements with large companies that allow it to position itself in multiple countries all over the world. Https://www.diael.com
