Detection and localization of partial discharge are considered critical techniques for estimating the lifetimes of power cables. High-frequency current transformers (HFCTs) are commonly used for the detection of partial discharge in high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) power cables; however, their applicability is compromised by the limitations of the installation locations. HFCTs are typically installed in cable terminals or insulation joint boxes because HVACs induce strong time-varying magnetic fields around the cables, saturating the ferromagnetic materials in the HFCTs. Therefore, partial discharges near the installation locations can be detected. In this study, the feasibility of partial discharge detection using a HFCT was investigated for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables. We demonstrated that the HFCT could be installed at any location in the HVDC power cable to monitor partial discharge along the entire cable length. Furthermore, we showed that the HFCT could detect the location of partial discharge with high accuracy.

국내 원자력발전소에 설치되어 있는 고압케이블은 장기 운전에 따라 열화진단 및 유지보수의 필요성이 증대되고 있으며, 주기적 안전성 평가(Periodic Safety Review) 및 계속운전과 관련하여서도 고압케이블의 관리방안이 지속적으로 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원자력발전소에서 경년열화로 진단되어 철거된 케이블을 수거하여 VLF(Very Low Frequency) 장비를 사용하여 가압을 한 후 HFCT(High Frequency Current Transformer)를 이용한 부분방전(Partial Discharge ; PD) 측정을 수행하여 향후 원자력발전소 계획예방정비 시 케이블을 대상으로 Off-line 부분 방전 진단이 가능한지를 검토하였고, 그 결과를 기술하였다.

Various sensors such as capacitive probe, high frequency current transformer (HFCT), and acoustic emission (AE) probe were applied to a cast resin dry type transformer for partial discharge detection. We designed and fabricated a wideband low-noise amplifier having a gain of 40[dB]. From the experiment which was carried out in the same transformer, the sensitivities were 7.16[mV/pC] for capacitive probe, 3.8[mV/pC] for HFCT, and 17.9[mV/pC] for AE probe.

There have three kinds of partial discharge diagnosis testing: online, offline and dismantled testing on high voltage rotating machine. Our lab testing is dismantled testing, taking off pieces into individual parts of stator coil of high voltage rotating machine in laboratory. We investigate internal discharge, slot discharge, corona discharge and normal state on pre-made stator winding by using spiral patch antenna sensor. In this lab test we compare the experimental results of our spiral patch antenna sensor and reference commercial HFCT sensor.

Power cables installed in domestic factories or underground can cause accidents depending on the manufacturing process, installation, and environmental conditions during use. When an accident occurs in a power cable, it can cause enormous economic loss and social confusion. Hence, the importance of preventive management of the cable through diagnosis is increasing to prevent it. Therefore, in this paper, a diagnostic sample cable was produced by simulating a part that could be a problem due to the installation, manufacturing defects, or deterioration of cables that can occur in the field. Dielectric loss Tangent (tan 𝛿; TD), and Partial Discharge(PD) tests were performed. Partial discharge and AC (60Hz) withstand voltage equipment using High-Frequency Current Transformer (HFCT) were applied After applying a VLF (Very Low Frequency) power supply with a frequency of 0.1Hz was applied. As a result, B and C phase defect samples at a 2.0U₀ voltage through the VLF could measure the internal partial discharge in the A-phase normal sample cable from the noise at a 0.5U₀ to 2.0U₀ voltage. In addition, the 1.5U₀ voltage was measured through the AC (60Hz) withstand voltage equipment of the commercial frequency to verify its effectiveness. Partial discharge in the run-off state was measured at a voltage of 1.0U₀, and there was a risk when installing the equipment. AC power equipment showed a difficulty of movement by volume or weight. The diagnostic method, through the VLF of the quadrant state, revealed its safety and effectiveness.

Many precedent investigations hate been made for the reliable assessment of the insulation state of large power apparatus for which partial discharge detection is one of tile plausible way. In this work, experimental investigations have been carried out to make the comparison on the PD(partial discharge) pattern analysis related to the five different types of artificial defects such as SFMP (Single Free Moving Particle), MFMP (Multi Free Moving Particle), Void, CFP (Conductor-Fixed Protrusion), EP (Enclosure Protrusion). For each PD pattern, PD detection has been done by tee different types of PD sensors such as HFCT(High Frequency Current Transformer), AE(Acoustic Emission) and UHF(Ultra High Frequency). And, in addition, frequency spectrum by the UHF sensor has been also made for each defect respectively. As a result, it is observed that the possibility of obtaining PD pattern based on PRPD(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge) in connection with the defects tinder investigation is dependant on the type of the sensor while the spectrum analysis is always successful to be achieved for every defect. Therefore, it could be suggested that the nature of PD source can be identified more distinctively when the conventional PRPDA is combined with spectrum analysis.
