Frequency Response of a Real Cable Network and its Impact on Field PD Measurements

Asset condition monitoring through Partial Discharge (PD) measurements is widely used for pre-emptive maintenance especially in cable networks. Several monitoring systems rely on measurements in the High Frequency (HF) band using wideband sensors when it comes to PD monitoring to have higher Signal to Noise Ratios (SNR), ignoring the radical...

Feasibility Study on Sensitive Partial Discharge Measurements on Long Cable Systems

The phenomenon of partial discharge has been long studied in various power components and in recent times, it has been agreed that the occurrence of such discharges can be considered as a vital parameter of component health. Partial discharges in power cables is a pervasive phenomenon that over time may lead to...
