In general, CT and Shunt have been traditionally used as a sensor for detecting the partial discharges in order to diagnose the present insulation state of the electric power apparatus. The former is very convenient for the practical application since it is not only non-contact method but its frequency bandwidth and resonance frequency could be designed for its specific application. However, it has been proved to have poor linearity and low sensitivity. For the latter, even though it is an ideal sensor, noise from the power source and the ground could flow into the system. Furthermore, the surge current could be easily come into the measuring systems giving rise to a severe breakdown. In this respect, a hybrid sensor has been designed and fabricated in order to overcome the shortcoming of these two types of sensors. For this purpose, the experimental comparison with commercialized products has been also carried out. In this concept of the hybrid sensor, two different impedances could provide the passage of the signals. In this way, the discrimination of the noise could be accomplished very effectively with high ratio of signal over noise(S/N) under the little influence from the external noises and the breakdown.

We have developed the external-type PD sensors for detecting of the electromagnetic waves up to ultra high frequency (UHF) bands, propagating in various type of GIS. Sufficiently high sensitivity and accuracy for practical use were achieved for the external PD sensor. The experience at the fields and the criteria for the judgment are also discussed in detail.

실선로 전력 케이블의 부분방전 측정은 주위 전력설비의 신호들이 혼합되어 검출된다. 본시험에서는 배전전력 케이블을 대상으로 부분방전 신호의 방향 추정 시험을 하였다. 시험 조건으로 모의 선로와 활선 현장선로에서 시행하였다. 2개 HFCT 센서를 사용하여 방전 펄스를 검출하였고 미소신호를 검출하기 위하여 AMP와 필터를 설계하였다. 신호 분석을 위하여 1GS/S의 스코프를 사용하였으며 자동 방향추정 S/W를 제작하였다. S/W의 특징으로는 2개의 채널에서 동일한 펄스의 시간차를 분석하여 방향을 분석하도록 하였다. 센서의 간격이 20CM일 때 약1nS의 시간차가 발생하여 신호의 방향을 추정할 수 있었다.

The purposes of this paper ensure for the economical efficiency, accuracy, and good applications in domestic site set up the power installations. For the efficient conduct of these purposes, there are measured the partial discharge(PD) used by current probe and compared with detected signal of UV sensor. As the results, PD generated about 35% of breakdown voltage in polymer insulator. UV signal due to high voltage in polymer insulator is detected from about 1.7mV at 30kV to about 3mV at 70kV. Signal detected by ultra-sonic is increased at about 75% of breakdown voltage abruptly. It appears that error range is increased in boundary. UV sensor is needed must use from the practical and economical points of view.

Wideband terminal and base station is required to serve not only existing 1st and 2nd generation mobile communication systems but also 3rd generation systems. In this paper, we present a feasibility study on coaxial feed compact wideband antenna for UHF RFID reader application. The original antenna was designed for partial discharge detection sensor in high voltage diagnostic system. However, we modified the original prototype to achieve shifted down resonant frequency for wideband wireless communication applications. The experimental result shows good return loss characteristics and radiation patterns except for the total gain at each resonant frequency. The maximum measured gain was 2.45 dBi$\sim$3.18 dBi at 910MHz.

가스절연개폐장치(Gas-Insulated Switchgear, GIS) 내부에서 발생하는 부분방전(Partial Discharge, PD) 신호는 1ns이하의 상승시간(rising time)을 가지므로, 이 신호를 효과적으로 측정하기 위해서는 초광대역(Ultra Wide Band, UWB)특성을 갖는 커플러가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 UWB 특성을 구현하기 위해, 대수주기 톱니형 평면 안테나(log-periodic toothed planar antenna)와 등각 스파이럴 패치안테나(equi-angular spiral patch antenna)형태의 두 가지 초광대역 UHF 커플러를 설계 제작하였다. 제작한 커플러들의 특성을 파악하기 위해 안테나의 급전부에, 자체 설계한 매칭 회로인 발룬(balun, balance to unbalance)을 장착하여, 반사계수, 모의펄스에 의한 검출신호, 스펙트럼 둥을 측정하였다.

케이블의 원가절감을 위해 절연체의 절연두께를 줄이거나 초초고압화가 되어 갈수록 절연성능의 신뢰성 향상이 한층 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해 케이블 및 접속함의 절연체 내에 각종의 결함이 어느 정도 절연성능을 떨어뜨리는지 정량적으로 파악하여 개선할 필요가 있다. 또한 완제품 내 잔족하고 있는 이물의 종류 및 위치를 알 수 있으면 생산공정 내에서 이물 유입 경로를 파악하여 이물이 유입되는 것을 차단할 수 있다. AC내전압 파괴시험을 수행할 때 설계치 보다 저전계에서 파괴될 경우 파괴공을 조사하여 원인을 규명하고자 하지만 국부적인 결함으로 인한 파괴는 결함부를 소실시키기 때문에 파괴공 및 주위의 절연체를 현미경으로 관찰하여도 찾기가 어렵다. 따라서, 전원을 고속으로 차단하여 결함부가 완전히 소손되는 것을 막고 PD발생 위치를 추정하여 결함을 확인하는 방법이 요구 되어진다. 이러한 시험 방법을 전구차단법 이라고 하며, 고도의 PD측정기술과 판정기술이 필요한 종합적인 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 PPD 기술의 핵심인 노이즈 제거 기술과 판별기술을 서술하고 실제 접속함(PMJ)에 적용하여 PPD 기술의 유효함을 증명하였다.

Wideband terminal and base station is required to serve not only existing 1st and 2nd generation mobile communication systems but also 3rd generation systems. In this paper, we presents a feasibility study on single feed compact wideband antenna for wireless communication applications including GSM (890-960 MHz), GPS (1575 MHz), DCS (1710-1880 MHz), PCS (1880-1990 MHz), UMTS (1900-2200 MHz), ISM (2400-2480 MHz), IMT2000 and satellite DMB bands. The original antenna was designed for partial discharge detection sensor in high voltage diagnostic system. However, we modified the original prototype to achieve shifted down resonant frequency for wideband wireless communication applications. The experimental result shows good return loss characteristics and radiation patterns except for the total gain at each resonant frequency. The maximum measured gain was 2.45 dBi${\sim}$3.18 dBi at 1710 MHz${\sim}$1880 MHz.

In general, power demand is on an increasing trend as industries have made rapid strides. Power transformer is the most important equipment in substation for this reason. Transformer trobles go with blackout, expensive repair costs and huge economic losses. Therefore it is important to find the quick detection of incipient fault for the least losses. There have been gas, partial discharge, temperature, OLTC, fan and pump diagnosis for preventive techniques by present. Specially gas analysis has been adapted for a long time and proved as confident method. In this paper, we analysed the fault causes of used power transformer. The insulation faults was occupied 40% of inquired 152 faults from 1991 to 2000. This study presents the developed algorithm and expert system for finding abnormal status within transformer. We used the Element Expert tool developed Neuron DATA Inc.

In this paper, As the wavelet transform has the properties of multi-resolution analysis and time-frequency domain localization, application of wavelet transform is used at partial discharge(PD) signal detected by electromagnetic wave detection method to extract PD signal's various frequency component and its time domain. therefore we can analyzed PD signal's time-frequency domain simultaneously. On the other hand, using wavelet transform denoising process, inclued noise signal in detected PD signal is well elimiated. we can propose the true shape of PD signal.
