LIFEVIEW PDA II ATEX

Advanced Partial Discharge Monitoring for High Voltage Machines

LIFEVIEW® PDA II ATEX is a key element of Quartzteq’s trusted range of LIFEVIEW condition monitoring systems, designed specifically for high voltage rotating machines, including HV motors and generators, helping operators optimise reliability, extend equipment life, and reduce unplanned downtime.

Operating as a permanent online PD detection system, LIFEVIEW PDA II provides real-time insight into insulation health - acting as an intelligent watchdog that alerts operators when discharge activity exceeds predefined thresholds. The data captured enables detailed insulation condition assessment and helps prevent costly failures through predictive maintenance and early fault detection.
