Abstract
This article describes the partial discharges (PD) detection and localization system.
Localization can be performed on the basis of measured UHF waveforms analysis during activity
of the partial discharges. The time-shifts of the waveforms related to transient process occurrence
in the signals are the main input parameters for localization methods. In order to estimate
the position of the signal source in the 3D space a minimum of four antennas has to be used,
since the time of the PD is unknown. Analysis of the PD starts with visual investigation of
the signals present inside of the power oil transformer. PD signal level is in comparison to
other signals inside the transformer very low. Therefore, signal line contains, except amplifiers,
also controlled attenuators to reach required trigger conditions. Detailed investigation of all
signals inside transformer is provided in memory mode in which system store defined number
of signals for offline diagnosis a localization. Continual and memory mode of the system also
contain discrimination method for non PD signals removing. Discrimination method is based on
simultaneous detection of the signal inside and outside of the transformer with aim to acquire
only signal which comes from inside of the transformer. Localization of the PD origin is based
on TDOA and matrix algorithm. Resulting position are visualized as point in transformer 2D
and 3D scheme.
