Diagnostic Measurements on Power Transformers
Introduction • Partial Discharges (PD) • "…localized electrical discharges that only partially bridge the insulation between conductors…" [IEC 60270:2000] • …can harm insulation systems • …generate electromagnetic signals • PD Measurement • General specifications: IEC 60270:2000 o
measurable
Transformers: IEC 60076 (…and others)
• detection of critical defects • recognition of defects • assessment of risk

When to measure?
Apparent charge q , of a pulse is that charge which, if injected between the terminals of the test object, would give the same reading on the measuring instrument as the PD current pulse itself.
• Factory test: • Standard measurement during the AC withstand test for every new (or repaired) transformer. Usually low ground noise level.
Expressed usually in pC.
• On-site test:
The apparent charge is not equal to the amount of charge locally involved at the site of the discharge, which can not measured directly. May 10
• After indication of DGA results. • Usually high ground noise level and other disturbances.

Noise Filtering
Coupling capacitor
- High bandwidth desirable for sensitive measurement and high pulse repetition rates
Testing transformer
- Low bandwidth improves interference rejection
Test object
- Always use the highest possible bandwidth
Faraday cage
- Only a variable filter is suitable for on-site measurements
