Partial discharge optical pulse signal characteristics for corona defect in oil immersed transformer

Abstract

Using fluorescent fiber sensor in transformer PD detection is a new method, based on the experimental platform for corona PD defect, the study has been carried out in order to show the typical corona PD defect optical pulse signal characteristics, PD single pulse waveform and pulses under industrial frequency cycle were acquired. The test results show that the optical method by using fluorescent fiber is effective in PD detection and corona PD optical pulse signals can accurately reflect the characteristics for this kind defect. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2013.
