In general, for the condition monitoring of a power transformer using the UHF PD measuring technique, detection of any partial discharge, identifying the defect in the transformer and locating the insulation defect are necessary. In this paper one of the most frequent detects which can result in turn to turn fault in power transformer was examined for identifying the defect. In order to model the defect, as a discharge source, a partial discharge cell was used for experimental activity. Magnitude of electromagnetic wave signals and corresponding amount of apparent discharge were measured simultaneously against phase of applied voltage to the discharge cell. Frequency range and phase resolved partial discharge signals were measured and analyzed. The results will be contributed to build the defect database of power transformer and to decrease the occurrence of transformer faults.

Five model coils of 6.6 kV motor were manufactured with several defects. These stator coils have artificial defects such as void of groundwall insulation, removal of semi-conductive coating and damage of strand insulation. Epoxy-mica coupler(80 pF) was connected to five model coil terminals. The voltage applied to the coils was 3.81 kV, 4.76 kV, 6.0 kV and 6.6 kV, respectively. Partial discharge(PD) tests performed in the laboratory and shield room. Digital PD detector(PDD) and turbine generator analyzer(TGA) were used to measure PD activity. TGA summarizes each plot with two quantities such as the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the peak PD magnitude(Qm). The PD levels in pC were measured with PDD. PD patterns of model coils were indicated the internal and slot discharges. PD patterns are consistent with the result of measurement using PDD and TGA instruments. AC breakdown test was performed on five model coils in order to confirm the result of PD measurements. All the failures were located in a line-end coil at the exit from the core slot.

This paper describes the simulation and experiment for partial discharge (PD) pulse propagation in 22.9kV CNCV power cables. To investigate the propagation characteristics of PD, experiments are carried out by injecting the PD pulse in 100m-long 60 $mm^2$ CNCV cable in the laboratory. The characteristics of PD are also simulated using EMTP to investigate and analyze PD in the same cable. By comparing the simulation and test results, parameter permittivity is recalculated by considering semiconducting screen in the process of simulation and analysis of PD. After it is proved that simulation results and test results are almost similar in the laboratory, extensive simulations are performed to analyse various PD characteristics such as propagation velocity, attenuation, etc. in 60 $mm^2$ and 325 $mm^2$ CNCV cables. Authors are confident that results obtained in this paper will be used as important technical materials to detect and investigate PD generated in transmission and distribution power cables.

Insulation failure in an electrical utility depends on the continuous stress imposed upon it. Monitoring of the insulation condition is a significant issue for safe operation of the electrical power system. In this paper, comparison of recognition rate variable classification scheme of PD (partial discharge) sources that occur within an electrical utility are studied. To acquire PD data, five defective models are made, that is, air discharge, void discharge and three types of treeinging discharge. Furthermore, these statistical distributions are applied to classify PD sources as the input data for the classification tools. ANFIS shows the highest rate, the value of which is 99% and PCA-LDA and ANFIS are superior to BP in regards to other matters.

In recent years, various types of partial discharge (PD) methods such as capacitive, inductive, electromagnetic, and acoustic coupling techniques have been developed for diagnosing rotating machines. An electromagnetic (EM) probe, which is an inductively coupled type of sensor, is required for detecting corona and internal discharges during off-line tests. In this study, a new technique for enhancing the measurement sensitivities for corona and internal discharge based on an EM inductive position sensor is proposed. An EM probe that winds wires around horseshoe-shaped and cylindershaped ferrites as helices is designed and optimized for the implementation of off-line PD monitoring of the stator winding of a rotating machine. The measurement system based on this design is implemented, and it is verified from the results of the experiment performed in this study that the probe provides similar performance as existing commercial products.

Correlation between propagation of bush-type electrical tree and internal partial discharges(PD) was discussed. We used specimens with needle-plane electrode system made of LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene), observed inception and propagation of electrical tree by optical microscope interfaced with computer and investigated characteristics of phase resolved PD pulses accompanying with propagation of electrical tree. Electrical tree generally growed bush-type tree. PD data detected and analyzed were average discharge current and statistical operator of q-n, $\psi$- $q_{avg}$, $\psi$-n, ${\psi}-q_{max}$ distribution. Parameters used were skewness, kurtosis, average discharge phase, cross-correlation factor, asymmetry and etc. In generally, average discharge current had good linear relationship with propagation of bush type electrical tree on this experiment. Peak discharge magnitude and repetition rate were increased, but they had not good linear relationship.p.

The paper considers the relation between on-line monitoring and diagnostics on the one hand and high-voltage (HV) withstand and partial discharge (PD) on-site testing on the other. HV testing supplies the basic data (fingerprints) for diagnostics. In case of warnings by on-line diagnostic systems, off-line withstand and PD testing delivers the best possible information about defects and enables the classification of the risk. Because alternating voltage (AC) is the most important test voltage, the AC generation on site is considered. Frequency tuned resonant (ACRF) test systems are best adapted to on-site conditions. They can be simply combined with PD measuring equipment. The available ACRF test systems and their application to electric power equipment -from cable systems to power transformers - is described.

In this paper, we dealt with a partial discharge(PD) measurement system that has been accepted as an effective and non-destructive technique for estimating reliabilities of low-voltage electrical and electronic components. Calibration tests on laboratory set-up have shown that the PD measurement system has a stable sensitivity of 37.6 mv/pC. In an application test on photo coupler, we could detect 0.1 pC level of partial discharge at the applied voltage of AC 520 $V_{peak}$.

We proposed a new sensitivity verification method for the UHF partial discharge(PD) detection system. Initially, we measure the UHF power induced by 5 pC PD which takes place near UHF sensor. Subsequently, we inject the swept UHF signal from a network analyzer into the GIS and measure the attenuation of the signal along the 71S Both the UHF power by 5 pC PD and the attenuation make it possible to verify the sensitivity and spatial coverage of the PD detection system. This method doesn\`t require the calibration of injected pulse type UHF signal into the GIS and makes us precisely measure the attenuation in frequency domain.
