In this paper an electrical partial discharge (PD) localization technique for a dry type power transformer is presented. The method has been tested in the laboratory on real transformer coil as well as on a transformer in a test bay.Calibration signal is injected through a plate sensor placed along the winding on the surface of the transformer coil in different positions, thus PD signals can be measured at both coil terminal sites using digitizer. Measured PD signal during test can be then evaluate and compared with calculated transfer function. The described technique enables not only localization of the PD source also determination of the apparent charge. This evaluation can be more accurate than conventional PD measurements by use of quadruple and coupling capacitor calibration and can be used during manufacturing process as well as diagnostic in field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
