For advanced, non-destructive on-site condition monitoring of HV power cables up to 150 kV by partial discharge detection and dielectric losses measurement it is necessary to energize the disconnected cable system. One of the methods available for this purpose is based on applyin ...
This paper describes important aspects of PD diagnostics of distribution power cables. PD parameter were discussed under consideration of attenuation and dispersive effects of cable characteristics. Field experiences with PD diagnosis on PILC and XLPE cables by energizing with Da ...
Transmission and distribution components in the power network are capital intensive assets, which force the owners of these assets to utilise them in the most efficient way. Efficient utilisation demands a thorough analysis of the relation between the assets performance and the s ...
This paper discusses the recently developed analysis method for service aged power transformers. This is a complete approach to assess the condition of a power transformer, both the on-load tap changer as well as the transformer windings. This paper also presents several case stu ...
This paper discusses the recently developed analysis method for service aged power transformers equipped with an OLTC: dynamic resistance measurements (DRM). Because the on-load tap changer contributes to many power transformer failures the emphasis is on OLTC diagnosis. Off-line ...
An on-load tap changer (OLTC) is prone to many different defects and degradation mechanisms due to its continuous operation under load condition. A high load current and high operation temperature accelerate the process of contact wear. Contacts erode due to the fact that under c ...
