Abstract

Partial discharge (PD) detection is vital for evaluating the health of power cable insulation, where failure can lead to significant disruptions. This study investigates the use of Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) sensors to detect PD signals, which typically occur in nanoseconds. The sensors operate in the GHz range and minimize interference by selecting frequencies above 400 MHz, where background noise is reduced. Through comparison with other detection methods, UHF sensors demonstrate superior sensitivity in measuring minor discharges, providing a reliable means for on-site condition assessment of high-voltage equipment. The study concludes that UHF sensors offer a practical solution for improving PD detection accuracy, particularly in challenging field conditions.
