This paper described the measurement technology to analyze the partial discharge characteristics for long term aging of insulations. This system was consisted of high voltage generation and measurement part, PD detection part, digital conversion and signal processing part. We used the VXI system for digital conversion and signal processing part. In the digital conversion part, we studied the error of partial discharge magnitude and memory capacity for reading digital signal with the sampling rate. In the signal processing part, we showed the program algorithm to count pulses and read peak values of partial discharge. The allowable minimum sampling rate of digizer was decided to 250kS/s through analyzing test. We confirmed that this system was very useful in the study of $\phi-q-n$ characteristics of long term PD experiments with specimens being consisted of internal void defects and CIGRE II electrodes.

We report the characteristics and differences of two types of attenuation measurement methods for electromagnetic partial discharge signal in GIS. The pulse method is to measure the attenuated waveforms in time domain and coverts them into frequency domain to get the attenuation spectra of given GIS section. This method simulates the real partial discharge signal. The frequency swept continuous wave method can obtain attenuation spectra directly so that it gives attenuation with low noise floor and simplicity. We show that both methods are effective and exchangeable because the attenuation results measured by two methods have similar trends

The objectives of this paper are to provide information on the characteristics of the discharge signals in a low-voltage indoor outlet. Most of electrical fires are caused by short circuits, overheating of wires, deterioration and incomplete connection of wiring devices. The last two cases are predictable before the occurrence of fire because of its slow progress. We have simulated the discharge signals caused by the deterioration and incomplete connection of wiring devices using aged outlets. From the experimental data, we could characterize the frequency spectrums of the discharge signals depending on the cases. The higher frequency components of the signal are attenuated by the capacitance and inductance of power lines as the measuring point is getting away from the discharges. Main frequency components of the discharge signal are existent at 600kHz - 1.5MHz in incomplete connections and at 210H7z - 8MHz in deteriorations of the outlet.

Online monitoring system is becoming an essential element of railway traction system for utilized to condition based malignance management and various techniques currently employed in railway traction system. Among the various techniques, it is efficient to detect partial discharge signals by electromagnetic wave detection in order to detect insulation fault of rectifier. Although VHF (Very High Frequency), UHF (Ultra High Frequency) sensors were adopted to detect partial discharge of power facilities, due to characteristics of urban railway, excessive noise occurs from 500 MHz to 1.5 GHz on UHF bandwidth. In this paper a new measurement system able to monitoring the conditions of power facilities on DC substation in metro was studied and set up. The system uses UHF sensors to measure the partial discharge of the rectifier due to electric faulting and dielectric breakdown. Comparison and estimation for performance of SHF sensor which had devised to detect partial discharge signal of urban railway rectifier has conducted. In order to estimate performance of SHF sensor, we have compared the sensor with existing UHF sensor on sensitivity upon frequency bandwidth generated by pulse generator, and also we have verified performance of the SHF sensor by detection results of partial discharge signal from urban railway rectifier.

In this paper, we discussed measurement method of PD (Partial Discharge) of 22.9[kV] cable. Cable rail track laying portable detector that can detect partial discharge of cable connection ashes by on-line done spot way to detect Lemke equipment and high broadcasting CT sensor that use antenna sensor using ICM mounting was explained. Because measurement corona signal is very big, analysis of partial discharge is difficult state, we used connector. It could be attenuated by 2 times. We found out that corona signal which generated on B phase is flowed on A phase and C phase. It could measure that partial discharge of A phase happens actually. We could confirm that partial discharge of about 250 ${\sim}$ 300 [pC] on A phase is dangerous.

The measured plasma temperature of Ar hollow cathode discharge for several metal cathodes are about $620\;{\sim}\;780K$ at discharge current of $7\;{\sim}\;10mA$. The optogalvanic signals were measured using hollow cathode discharge tube with argon as buffer gas at change of discharge currents. A change of ionization rate due to electron collision causes an increase or decrease of the electric conductivity. This change in electric conductivity generates the optogalvanic signal. We conclude that optogalvanic signal has close relation with the lowest metastable atoms density at low current.

This study deals with the location of partial discharges(PDs) for power cables and GIS using 2 PD sensors and long coaxial signal cables. Throughout the experiments by use of simulated PD pulses and corona discharges in the power cable system, it is found out that the impedance matching between the coaxial signal cable and the measuring equipment should be done for good S/N ratio and the on-site measurement using more than 100m-long coaxial signal cable is possible. In addition, new PD location algorithm with the polarities of PD pulses and the arrival time difference between two pulses was proposed and was proved through the partial discharge experiments for the cable joint defect and artificial void defect.

Recently, the wavelet transform has been a new and powerful tool for signal processing. It is more suitable specially for the feature extraction and detection of non-stationary signals than traditional methods such as, the Fourier Transform(FT), the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and the Least Square Method etc. because of the characteristic of the multi-scale analysis and time-frequency domain localization. The wavelet transform has been developed for the analysis of PD pulse signal to raise in the progress of insulation degradation. In this paper, the wavelet transform was applied to one foundational method for feature extraction. For the obtain experimental data, a computer-aided partial discharge measurement system with a single acoustic sensor was used. If we are applying to the neural network method the accumulated data through the extracted feature, it is expected that we can detect the PD pulse signal in the insulation materials on the on-line.
