Defects inside insulation of HV XLPE cable accessories can lead to partial discharge (PD) activity. When PD activity happens, leakage current may flow through the grounded line. To acquire the PD current signal, one practicable and effective method is placing a high frequency current transformer (HFCT) winding the grounded line. In order to measure the insulation degradation, a partial discharg...

In this paper, the Weibull extension distribution parameters are estimated under a progressive type-II censoring scheme with random removal. The of model using maximum likelihood method, product spacing, and Bayesian estimation methods. classical (maximum method spacing), we did use Newton–Raphson algorithm. is done Metropolis–Hastings algorithm based on square error loss function. proposed met...

The electronic power transformer (EPT) raises concerns for its notable size and volume reduction compared with traditional line frequency transformers. Medium frequency transformers (MFTs) are important components in high voltage and high power energy conversion systems such as EPTs. High voltage and high power make the reliable insulation design of MFT more difficult. In this paper, the influe...

The condition of oil-paper insulation is closely related to the life expectancy of a transformer. The accurate results of oil-paper have not been obtained due to the impact of influencing factors. Therefore, in order to improve the evaluation accuracy of oil-paper insulation, in this paper, oil-paper samples which were prepared with different aging and moisture content were analyzed by frequenc...

At present, the tendency to implement the conditionbased maintenance (CBM), which allows the optimization of the expenses for equipment monitoring, is more and more evident; also, the transformer substations with remote monitoring are increasingly used. This paper reviews all the advantages of the on-line monitoring and presents an equipment for on-line monitoring of bushings, which is the own ...

A pulsed power generator based on a high-voltage Tesla transformer which charges a 3.85 Ω/55 ns water-filled pulse forming line to 300 kV has been developed at Loughborough University as a training tool for pulsed power students. The generator uses all forms of insulation specific to pulsed power technology, liquid (oil and water), gas (SF(6)), and magnetic insulation in vacuum, and a number of...

Degraded insulating property of electric equipments will lead to serious accident and great loss for the utilities and customers. Partial discharge detection is an efficient diagnosis method to prevent the failure of electric equipments arising from degrading insulation. However, universal offline partial discharge detection could be performed only during shutdown of equipments. By using the pr...

For examination and diagnostics of the insulation quality of high voltage devices the measurement of partial discharge (PD) is accomplished. The conventional PD measurement according to IEC60270 is in some situations not sensitive enough because of the high interference level in field. The development of an unconventional measuring method using electromagnetic probes is presented. These probes ...

The application of regular condition checks and continuous monitoring of power transformers gains in importance. Nowadays, these methods are frequently used to detect damages in the insulation system at early stage and thus to avoid outages. In addition to the electrical partial discharge (PD) measurement according IEC 60270 [1], the electromagnetic measurement method starts to become common pr...
