Abstract
Monitoring partial discharge (PD) activities in the joint of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables has attracted much attention due to its extensive application and high fault rate. In this paper, we designed a wide-band sensor with simple configuration, which was embedded in the outer semi-conductive layer of the cable. Based on the analysis of circuit and antenna models, the structural parameters of sensor were determined, and it was found that the effective bandwidth reached up to 500 MHz. In addition, the sensor had a quick response to the pulse with a rising time longer than 2 ns by testing its square response, as well as a linear input-output characteristic and a sensitivity of 3 pC. At last, the sensor was applied to insulation defect type identification in the cable joint. As for three common defects, both the single PD pulse and PD patterns showed distinct. These indicated that the sensor had a potential application prospect in the PD online detection for cable joint.
