In this paper, we measured PD signals from artificial surface defects and corona discharges under laboratory circumstances like the fields using both HFCT-sensor and UHF-sensor for MV grade XLPE cable with AMP, spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope. Also, detected signals were analyzed via PRPDA system in this paper. As a result, in this case of HFCT-sensor, the amount of background noise are larger than as compared to UHF-sensor. There is needed some hardware or software or software algorithm removing background noise effectively for diagnosis the underground power transmission cable in the case of HFCT-sensor.

In this study, the sensor such as current transformer type was developed for measuring non-contact partial discharge in power electrical facilities, and the results of the characteristic evaluation were discussed. The frequency response characteristics of the HFCT sensor were shown to be measurable from 20 [kHz] to 20 [MHz]. The average sensitivity for the positive direction was 0.308 [mV/pC], and the negative direction was 0.459 [mV/pC]. Which showed that the sensitivity for the negative direction was better than that for the positive direction. The developed HFCT sensor is possible to measure very small partial discharge pulse signals and can be measured various types of partial discharge that may occur at power electrical facilities.

In this study, The new type of loop antenna which detects the partial discharge was designed based on microstrip line technology. In diagnosis of power cable, partial discharge signal generally occurred at the frequency range lower than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals could be lost along the propagation path in the cable. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied by using Simulation software named CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measuring experiments, commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT sensor and loop antenna sensor in detection partial discharge on MV XLPE cable of 22.9kV. In this study, we have shown our loop antenna sensor can apply as a commercial HFCT sensor.

This study designed a new type of loop antenna that is able to detect partial discharges based on microstrip line technology. In the diagnosis of power cables, partial discharge signals are generally produced at a frequency range less than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals are lost along a propagation path in such cables. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied using simulation software known as CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measurement experiments, a commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT and loop antenna sensors for detecting partial discharges on 22.9kV MV XLPE cable. In this study, we showed the loop antenna designed in this study that can be applied as a commercial HFCT sensor.

Abstract - In order to investigate the possibility of separating PD(partial discharge) and noises through the pulse analysis by use of a HFCT, pulse shapes measured by a resistive sensor and a HFCT were analyzed and adequate PA(pulse analysis) algorithms were studied. For the purpose, the HFPD detection and PA system has been developed. Also void discharges and air corona were adopted as the artificial defect and noises, respectively. As a result, it is possible to separate partial discharges and noises through the PA method using the $100kHz{\sim}20MHz$ frequency range HFCT. It is expected to apply the developed system to on-site PD measurements for the electric equipments.

In the stator windings of a 6.6 kV rotating machine, internal discharges, slot discharges, and surface discharges are mainly caused by internal voids and insulation degradation. If a partial discharge(PD) occurs in an inner-part of the stator windings, it will cause electromagnetic pulses with wide frequency ranges. Discharge sparks and electromagnetic pulses generated from a discharge source, can be detected using various RF resonators like an EM sensor. In order to detect these types of electromagnetic sources, a planar patch sensor was designed and fabricated using a CST-MWS simulation, and PD signals from an artificially defected stator winding were also measured by the sensor proposed in this study. Furthermore, an HFCT was used as a reference sensor and compared with the proposed new planar patch sensor. In the results of the experiment, the planar patch sensor showed a similar performance to the HFCT sensor.

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.
