In this paper, we dealt with a partial discharge(PD) measurement method that has been accepted as an effective and non-destructive technique to estimate insulation performance of low-voltage electric and electronic devices. The PD measurement system Is composed of a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and associated electronics. h shielded box Is adopted to make a better measurement environment against around noise. A low cut-off frequency of the coupling network estimated by a sinusoidal wave input was 125 kHz (-3 dB). Calibration tests on laboratory set-up have shown that the PD measurement system has a stable sensitivity of 10 mV/pC. In an application test oil a low-voltage three phase Induction motor (5 HP), we could detect 0.53 pC level of partial discharge at the applied voltage of AC 650 $V_{peak}$.

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.

Partial discharges (PD) lead to the degradation of high voltage cables and accessories. PD activities occur due to the existence of impurities, voids, contaminants, defects and protrusions during the manufacture and installation of power cables. Commonly, insulation failures occur at cable joints and terminations, caused by inhomogeneous electric field distributions. In this work, a blend of natural rubber (NR) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) was investigated, and the optimal formulation of the blend that could resist PD was discussed. The experiments were conducted under a constant high voltage stress test of 6.5 kV AC and the magnitude of partial discharge activities was recorded using the CIGRE method II. Pattern analysis of PD signals was performed along with the interpretation of morphological changes. The results showed that the addition of 10 wt% of NR and 5 wt% of Alumina Trihydrate (ATH) provided promising results in resisting PD activities. However, as the NR content increased, more micropores existed, thus resulting in increased PD activities within the samples.

본 논문에서는 초음파 센서를 이용하여 부분방전에 의해 발생하는 기준준위 이상의 초음파 펄스수를 계수하여, 전력용 변압기의 부분방전 진전을 상시 감시할 수 있는 예방진단기술에 관하여 연구하였다. 실험결과, 초음파 발생장치 및 침-평판전극에 일정전압을 인가하여 일정한 초음파 및 부분방전을 발생시킬 경우에 측정한 초음파 펄스수의 경향은 일정하였으며, 침-평판전극에 인가전압을 상승시켜 부분방전을 임의로 크게 하거나, 침-평판전극에 절연지를 삽입하고 일정전압을 인가하여 부분방전을 진전시킬 경우의 초음파 펄스수는 부분방전의 진전과 더불어 증가함을 보여, 본 연구에서 제시한 진단장치를 이용하여 부분방전의 진전을 상시 감시할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this study, a relationship between DC discharge and the radiated electromagnetic waves is investigated by measuring electromagnetic waves using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. The characteristics of frequency spectrum ofthe radiated electromagnetic waves was measured at the atmospheric pressure in Liquid Nitrogen $(LN_2)$ during partial discharges in nonuniform and uniform electric field depend on positive DC power. From this experiment results, it was confirmed that when partial discharge was produced in Liquid Nitrogen and Air, the signal of partial discharge was detected by this experiment and the analysis method. It is considered thatthese results obtained from this investigation may be used as fundamental data for diagnosis and prediction of insulation on the equipments ultra-high voltage, superconducting and cryogenic applications.

A gasoline engine automobile uses high voltage generation of the ignition coil, igniting and burning mixed fuel in the combustion chamber, which drives the engine. When the electronic control unit intermits a current supplied to the power transistor, counter electromotive force with a low voltage is generated by self induction action in the ignition primary coil and a high voltage is induced by mutual induction action with the primary ignition coil in the second ignition coil. The high voltage is supplied to the ignition plug in the combustion chamber, causing a spark, igniting the compressed mixed fuel. If a very small defect occurs inside the insulating material when a voltage is applied in said ignition coil, the performance of the insulation material will get worse and breakdown by a partial discharge of corona discharge. Thus, in this experiment, we are to contribute to improve the performance and ensure the reliability of the ignition coil by investigating partial discharge characteristics according to the change of voltage and temperature when a voltage is applied to the specimen of the epoxy molding ignition coil.

In this work, experimental investigation is carried out in order to design and fabricate the UHF sensor that is able to detect the partial discharges produced from 10 artificial defects introduced into the real scale 70kV GIS mock-up under high voltage within a well shielded room. As well, in order to verify the on-site applicability of our method, the newly proposed CAPD (chaos analysis of partial discharge) is combined with spectral analysis for identifying the nature of 10 artificial defects under investigation. The PD pattern recognition of each defect has been fulfilled by applying our ANN software. The result indicates that the recognition rate reaches up to 80% by the newly proposed method while the traditional PRPD analysis method allows us to obtain 41%. In consequence, it can be pointed out that the proposed method seems likely to be applicable to the real GIS at the site.

GIS is a typical power equipment with higher reliability. It is compact and safe because all the energized parts are enclosed by a sealed cylindrical tank which is filled with $SF_6$. Generally gas insulated power equipments like GIS are designed to have sufficient electrical strength to prevent partial discharges under normal operating condition. Despite of the careful processes in manufacturing, transporting and assembling, voids or particles can be created, resulting in partial discharges at electrically weak points. The key factors causing partial discharges in GIS are; particles, voids in solid insulation, protrusions, poor contact of metal components, etc. The particle can be attached on; spacers, electrodes, internal wall of the GIS tank. It also moves in GIS freely. Most of partial discharges are likely to occur when particles are attached to spacers. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of a surface discharge were investigated under various conditions by using simulation program of FEMLAB.

GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear) is important power apparatus which have strong dielectric strength, supply electric power and is a part of the power system. Most substation type is configured as GIS. Recently, because of continuous increasement of GIS demand resulted from high quality & big capacity of electric power, the necessity of the preventive & diagnosis system is being expanded gradually. GIS partial discharge occurred on the UHF band is detected effectively by the method to IEC 60270 that recommend to be able to detect the apparent minimum discharge, 5 pC. Additionally, the UHF sensor should be installed to detect PD signal if Partial discharge signal, 5 pC occur in every part of GIS. Currently PD diagnosis system applying UHF sensor for GIS with various voltage level like 154 kV, 345 kV, 765 kV have been operated. And it is necessary to measure and analyze insulation breakdown phenomenon of inside GIS exactly. In this paper, we proposed Fat-dipole patch UHF sensor that is developed and more sensitive, excellent wide-range characteristic than the exising UHF sensor. And we performed KERI (Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute) reference test, which showed the excellent result for the all tests.
