Partial Discharge Properties of High Voltage Motor Stator Insulation using Partial Discharge Analyzer

PDA를 이용한 고압전동기 고정자 권선에서 부분방전 특성

Partial discharge(PD) testing for different capacitive couplers was performed on a 6.6kV, 448kW pulverizer motor. The motor has been in service for twenty years. PD tests were measured using digital partial discharge detector(DPDD) and partial discharge analyzer(PDA), respectively. PDA is used to in the motor stator insulation, which three 80pF or three 500pF epoxy-mica couplers were installed, one per phase. The 500pF couplers did detect more normalized quantity number(NQN) than the 80pF couplers. DPDD and PDA showed that PD and NQN magnitudes increased with increase of ac voltage. Internal discharge was discovered in the motor stator insulation. DPDD and PDA test results are in accordance with the pattern and magnitude of PD.
