Acoustic Detection of Partial Discharges in Insulation Oil
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we performed an insulation diagnosis technique for oil-immersed power transformers by an acoustic detection method. Electrode system such as needle to plane electrode was fabricated to simulate a defect of power transformers. In addition, the frequency spectrum of acoustic signals with partial discharge (PD) in insulating oil was analyzed. From the FFT result, the frequency spectrum of the acoustic signals measured by a wide and a narrow band AE sensors were distributed in the range of 50–170 kHz. Therefore, a narrowband AE sensor with a resonant frequency of 140 kHz is suitable for the diagnosis of oil-immersed power transformers. We could find the position of the PD source with an error margin of 10% in the experiments by calculating the position of the PD occurrence using the time difference of arrival measured by five AE sensors.

Classification of Acoustic Emission Based Partial Discharge in Oil Pressboard Insulation System Using Wavelet Analysis
Insulation used in transformer is mostly oil pressboard insulation. Insulation failure is one of the major causes of catastrophic failure of transformers. It is established that partial discharges (PD) cause insulation degradation and premature failure of insulation. Online monitoring of PDs can reduce the risk of catastrophic failure of transformers. There are different techniques of partial d...

Power transformers are crucial in an electric power system. Failures in transformers can affect the quality and cause interruptions in the power supply. Partial discharges are a phenomenon that can cause failures in the transformers if not properly monitored. Typically, the monitoring requires high-cost corrective maintenance or even interruptions of the power system. Therefore, the development...

During the ageing of in-service medium voltage equipment, electrical losses are mainly due to partial discharges. These partial discharges can lead to the electrical failure of industrial equipment [1]. Partial discharges include (i) bulk discharges occurring in insulating material voids, (ii) corona discharges affecting or not the insulator and (iii) surface discharges developing on an insulat...
