Abstract

To improve the insulation diagnosis of a medium-voltage (MV) switchgear, we have developed a four-terminal surface current sensor and a method to estimate the direction of partial discharge occurrence. In this method, the accuracy of the direction estimation is improved by referring only to the direct wave, and the error due to noise can be suppressed by calculating the outputs of the four terminals. The experimental results demonstrate that the detection characteristics of the sensor concur well with the theoretical characteristics derived from the detection principle. Additionally, we conducted an experiment using the developed sensor and the new method to detect the surface current generated due to partial discharge occurring in a rectangular enclosure. The results demonstrate that the occurrence direction could be estimated even for a rectangular enclosure. Furthermore, the propagation attenuation of the surface current at the corners of the enclosure was large, exhibiting an attenuation 0.25 times for the worst case. Finally, it was confirmed that noise removal using a wavelet transform could reduce the direction estimation error of the discharge occurrence by approximately half.
