Using the EMI Sniffer and Acoustic Ear Scan

To help localize EMI sources, use an EMI sniffer or ultrasonic acoustic monitor.

An EMI sniffer is a broad band radio with two antenna and three different ranges. It has a gain dial that allows desensitization enough to aid location of the source. It is especially useful for bearing electrolysis issues, brush rigging issues, and shaft ground connection issues.

The Acoustic ear, used by PdM technicians for many years for bearing issues, can also be used for PD detection and for localizing the source of EMI signatures. It is especially useful for connection issues on the high side bushing of large GSU transformers.
