PRY-CAM Portable Monitoring Solutions for Data-Driven Power

Partial discharge (PD) measurement is a critical factor in assessing the condition of electrical systems. However, PD testing has not been widely adopted as an effective online diagnostic tool due to several limitations associated with traditional PD technologies. These methods tend to be complex, expensive, and difficult to scale across various assets, making integration with all key asset parameters nearly impossible. Additionally, detecting and localizing defects cannot always be done online.

The PRY-CAM Answer

PRY-CAM utilizes innovative wireless technology that allows partial discharge (PD) testing to be conducted online, meaning the system does not need to be turned off during testing. Additionally, it eliminates the need for a direct connection to the component being tested, enhancing operator safety. 

PRY-CAM PORTABLE is a comprehensive portable instrument designed for the automatic acquisition, processing, and classification of pulse signals generated by PD phenomena in the insulating materials of medium and high voltage electrical systems and equipment. This includes transformers, electrical machines, cable systems, and switchgear. The device provides an instant snapshot of the equipment's condition, easily interpreted through a visual interface resembling a traffic light with red, yellow, and green indicators, all powered by a proprietary artificial intelligence algorithm.

Applications

  • Compatible with all electrical equipment ranging from 3 kV to 600 kV
  • Suitable for AC and DC systems
  • Ideal for cable networks, transformers, switchgear, and electrical machines

This device detects 100% of critical defects and helps avoid up to 80% of faults, all while reducing measurement time by 70% compared to traditional technologies. Additionally, it offers up to five times higher sensitivity for detecting small defects, proving to be faster, more accurate, and more effective than ever before. 

The PRY-CAM PORTABLE can be operated in three different modes: BASIC, ADVANCED, and PREMIUM, allowing users to choose the mode that best fits their information needs and expertise.

Data Management

Every individual PD measurement can be saved along with other useful information, including pictures, recorded messages, GPS coordinates, notes, and tags. 

You can store your data on a private cloud platform for future retrieval and analysis. Additionally, you can gain virtual access to Prysmian PRY-CAM experts for advanced remote diagnosis.
