Description
SKF TKED 1 Electrical Discharge Detector Pen
The SKF TKED 1 is a handheld detector for electrical discharges associated with electric motor bearings. It can support maintenance checks on suitable wind-farm auxiliary motors, particularly where variable-frequency drives make bearing-current investigation relevant.

Application and selection
Use discharge indications alongside vibration, lubrication condition and the maintenance history of the motor to investigate possible bearing electrical erosion. Detection depends on the equipment arrangement and surrounding electromagnetic sources, so findings require interpretation in context.
This instrument indicates discharge events; it does not directly measure shaft voltage or current magnitude, certify an installation as electrically safe, or replace a complete bearing-condition assessment. Follow the manufacturer's method and the site's access procedures when testing operating machinery.
