Partial discharge measurement in distribution power transformers.

M. Tech. Electrical Engineering. / Discusses the appearance of partial discharge (PDs) is a problem of insulation failure in high voltage equipment used in power plants. As the insulation of equipment has a sensitive zone, therefore the quality of insulation plays an important role in such power equipment. PDs in power transformers are capable of leading to corrosion on solid insulating materials, thereby in the long term, causing a breakdown of the particular operating component. It follows that the real challenge is to identify the most appropriate method for the measurement and/or detection of PDs.
