Abstract

Industrial complexes suffer from crosstalk of Partial Discharge (PD) defects in cable terminations connected to the same medium voltage busbars. This phenomenon happens because the sheath-ground connections of all cables of one switchboard are first fastened together and then connected to ground, which leads to PD pulses being induced from the source termination to others. In this paper, based on mathematical investigations on PD pulse propagation and by introducing an energy-based index, a simple rule-based procedure is proposed for discrimination between defective terminations and healthy ones connected to common busbars. The proposed procedure has been verified by simulations even when there exists noise pollution or multiple defects of different strengths.
