Abstract
A novel partial discharge (PD) detection method for transformers on site adopting its component as ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensor is proposed. The bushing tap, iron core, and high-voltage (HV) winding can be used as internal UHF sensor for UHF PD detection. The experiments are carried out on an 80-kV transformer model to prove the validity of this method. The results show that the proposed method has good detection sensitivity and anti-disturbance performance, and can measure the PD signals without additional sensor. It solves the problem of the lack of available unused valves for internal UHF sensor installation while the external sensor is susceptible to interference. It provides a novel method with application prospects for PD detection of transformers in field.
