Abstract

Ultra-high frequency (UHF) electromagnetic (EM) signals generated by the partial discharge (PD) process of high-voltage equipment are now widely used in PD detection. The computation of EM propagation generated by a local discharge source using a uniformly hardwiring source can hardly reveal the discharge characteristics. In this paper, a method of near-field to far-field transformation is proposed to realize the study of the propagation characteristics of the PD signal. A short gap discharge model is established to get the near-field electromagnetics and the proposed method is validated by comparing the directly calculated results with the results of the near-field source. In the end, a model of switchgear is employed to study the propagation characteristics of the EM signal based on the proposed method. Via numerical calculation, the influence of the equipment in the switchgear on the propagation of the discharge EM is studied. It is found that the direction of the discharge source has a significant effect on the distribution of the electric field, which indicates that the discharge source cannot be simplified to a uniformly hardwiring source. In addition, it is also obtained that the amplitude of the electric field shows the same trend with the growth of the discharge channel, which gives a method for evaluating the development of the PD. Particularly, the near-field to far-field transformation can provide an effective method for studying the propagation of discharge EM waves in large-scale equipment.
