PARTIAL DISCHARGE THEORY
3
• According to IEC 60270
Partial discharge (PD) is a localized electrical discharge that only partially bridges the insulation
between conductors and which may or may not occur adjacent to a conductor.
• The term ‘partial discharge’ includes a wide group of discharge phenomena – (i) internal discharges occurring in voids or cavities within solid or
liquid dielectrics; – (ii) surface discharges appearing at the boundary of different
insulation materials; – (iii) corona discharges occurring in gaseous dielectrics in the
presence of inhomogeneous fields; – (iv) continuous impact of discharges in solid dielectrics forming
discharge channels (treeing).
What is Partial Discharge?

PD Pulses
Breakdown in cavity
The detection and measurement of discharges is based on the exchange of energy taking place during the discharge. These exchanges are manifested as:
– (i) electrical pulse currents – (ii) dielectric losses – (iii) E.M. radiation (light) – (iv) sound (noise) – (v) increased gas pressure – (vi) chemical reactions

• Designed life of power cables is approximately 40 years • Cable Types that can be tested using Qualitrol Online PD Technology:
– XLPE (Cross Linked PolyEthylene) – EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) – PE (PolyEthylene) – PILC (Paper Insulated Lead Covered)

PD at Cable Terminations
• PD in cable induces HF signals
• The signals travel in both
directions
• Signals attenuate during
propagation and reflect back at
terminations
• Detection Principle
• Capture the HF signals emitted
by PD at termination point
• Analyse signals to identify PD
fault and differentiate with Noise
or External PD signals

PD Fault Localization
14
• Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR)
Principle is used to locate PD.
Measure time difference between
main and reflected HF signals (∆T)
• For Longer cables, reflected pulse
may not reach to the measurement
end Requires a signal injector at the
other end to inject same HF signal
• For accurate localisation requires Accurate length of cable

WHY ONLINE PD MEASUREMENT
15
• No need to de-energize the cable system • Non destructive testing • Accurate Detection of Incipient Faults under operating conditions • Accurate Localization or Zoning of Incipient Faults • Trending Fault Severity via regular CHECKUPs • Helps in scheduling maintenance and planned outage • Ensure that cable is defect free after repair / workmanship
Why Online PD Monitoring?
16
• Most of the incipient faults or defects in power cables generate PD signals well before the actual failure except water trees. • PD monitoring helps in identifying the incipient faults before the break down -> Saves cost of UNPLANNED OUTAGE
SENSORS USED FOR ONLINE PD MEASUREMENT
17
• HFCT (High Frequency Current Transformers) – To detect any PD signal coming from Cable insulation – One for each Cable – Installed at termination / joints
• TEV (Transient Earth Voltage) – To detect any external PD signals coming from termination
or nearby Switchgear Panel – One for each Termination – Installed near the openings or vents of terminations
• RF Antenna (Radio Frequency)
– For Noise gating – One for each Termination – Installed near to termination (Either TEV or RF Antenna)
Sensors used for Online PD Measurement
18
• High Frequency Current Transformers – Inductive type sensor – Split core to install sensor easily – Different variants to fit the purpose (current (up to 1000A), diameter
(up to 150mm internal diameter)) – Sensitivity: Up to 10mV / mA – Frequency Response: 200kHz – 15MHz
• Installation requires – Individual cable earth – Cable insulation gland – Installation is done while the cable is energised
Sensors: HFCT, Options for Installation
19
• Transient Earth Voltage Sensor – Capacitive type sensor – Integrated magnets help to attach it to
metallic body – Sensitivity: Up to 100mV / V
• Installation requires:
– Metal Switchgear should not be double skinned / walled
• RF Antenna – Can be used in place of TEV – Used to perform noise gating

Maximum magnitude phase resolved distribution of mixed signals including noise, PD, interference were applied together to test the system and separated out by the system

Case Study 2: High Noise Environment
34
Before performing any filtering on Channel A single cycle data, high noise level and too much interference can be seen. Not sure which is PD or which is noise. Also not sure that there is any PD?
After filtering, white noise level is decreased. Interference signals can still be seen at the same locations. However, some more pulses appeared in the middle. These pulses in the middle may or may not be PD
