Partial Discharge (PD) occurs when insulation containing voids is subjected to high voltage (HV). If left untreated PD can degrade insulation until, eventually, catastrophic insulation failure occurs. The detection of PD current pulses, however, can allow incipient insulation faults to be identified, located and repaired prior to plant failure ...
When a partial discharge event occurs, the coupling capacitor provides the devices under test (DUT) with a displacement current, which is measurable at the coupling devices (CPL). Such an approach provides additional information about the test discharge (PRPD) measurement. OMICRON ofers standard coupling capacitors from 12 kV up to 100 kV.
Partial discharge (PD) detection and analysis have been adopted as a predictive test to characterize and assess the state of electric cables in advance. This review provides an in-depth discussion of the reactions that occur in the insulation system of the cables.
With tuned narrow band detectors, the Partial Discharge Measurements can be detected with a sensitivity less than one pico coulomb for a testpiece capacitance of 100 pF. Testpieces with capacitances in the range 100 pF to 0.1 pF can be tested. With the wide band detector samples up to 250 μF capacitance can be tested.
The signal developed across the impedance Z is passed through a band pass filter and amplifier and displayed on a CRO or counted by a pulse counter multi-channel analyzer unit. In Fig. 9.22, the discharge pattern displayed on the CRO screen of a Partial Discharge Measurements detector with an elliptical display is shown.
In order to detect and locate partial discharge (PD) activity within HV cables and in particular cable joints, the feasibility of using a very high frequency WHO capacitive coupler technique has been investigated. In addition, an alternative PD offline test method for cable joints or cable sections within long cable systems has been developed.
discharge (PRPD) measurement. OMICRON ofers standard coupling capacitors from 12 kV up to 100 kV. When using a coupling capacitor without an integrated measuring impedance, the low side of the coupling capacitor has to be connected to the input of the CPL measuring impedance (basic test setup with measurement on ground potential).

Partial discharges are defined in IEC 60270 as localized electrical discharges that only partially bridge the insulation between conductors and which can or cannot occur adjacent to a conductor. Partial discharges are in general a consequence of local electrical stress concentration in the insulation or on the surface of the insulation.
discharges. In general, PD can be broken down into two different categories; a) internal partial discharge and b) external partial discharge (figure 3). Figure 3 : Different types of partial discharges Generally, internal discharges are the most dangerous types of PD activity inside an insulation system. 3 Methods for PD detection and measurements
