Abstract

A partial discharge (PD) detection method for SF6 insulated inverted current transformers (SIICTs) adopting an inner shield case as an ultra-high frequency (UHF) sensor is proposed in this paper. The inner shield case is a component of the SIICT. Its structure is similar to that of an antenna and can be used as a UHF sensor to measure the PD UHF signal. A 110 kV current transformer is used as an experimental object and the voltage standing-wave ratio of the inner shield case is calculated. The validity and sensitivity of this method are proved by experiments with ac voltage. This PD detection method solves the problem that the UHF sensor is difficult to mount inside current transformers and provides a novel method for PD detection of SIICTs.
