Abstract

Remote monitoring partial discharge sensor, equipping with hybrid filter combining optical and electrical noise reduction capabilities and with signal integrating function to calculate total arc energy, was investigated. Hybrid filter showed insensitivity to fluorescent and incandescent lamps under simulated distribution panel condition. Signal integrating function showed selective detection capability corresponding to different arc energy levels, while convention arc sensor had difficulty to discriminate arc energy level due to bursty arc waveform and peak level detection characteristics. The sensor showed possibility for application to remote monitoring partial discharge sensor, since it detected arc energy level corresponding to normal open and close discharge in low voltage 100A MCCB at 2m distance.

광학적 잡음과 전기적 잡음을 복합적으로 제거할 수 있는 하이브리드 필터를 채용하고 펄스형태의 아크 광 신호를 적분하여 수신되는 아크에너지의 크기로 감지할 수 있는 원격감시 기능을 갖는 고감도 부분방전 센서를 구현하였다. 하이브리드 필터는 부분방전 센서가 설치되는 배전반 내 환경에서 내부 형광등과 백열등 조명에 대하여 영향을 받지 않음을 보여주었다. 종래에는 아크광의 불규칙한 파형특성으로 인하여 첨두치가 감지되어 아크광의 크기에 비례한 선택적 감지가 어려웠으나, 센서에 적용된 적분연산 기능은 각기 다른 아크광의 에너지 레벨에 대하여도 선택적으로 감지가 가능함을 실험적으로 보여주었다. 센서는 2m 이격된 원격지에서 100A 저압 MCCB의 정상 개폐 시 발생하는 섬광에 해당하는 광 에너지에 대해서도 감지가 가능함을 보여주어 원격감시 기능을 갖는 고감도 부분방전센서에 적용 가능함을 보여주었다.
