Challenges during partial discharge detection

The challenge when analyzing partial discharge (PD) is to detect and evaluate
discharges in the range of pico-coulombs (pC), while dealing with test voltages
of up to several hundred kilovolts (kV) and large test set-ups which act as
radio-frequency (RF) antennas.
External interference and noise from nearby equipment, for example caused
by corona or other radio-frequency sources, may overlay these highly sensitive
PD measurements.

Measuring principle using MPD technology
The MPD 800 system consists of an MPD 800 measurement device, the MCU2 control unit and the
MPD Suite software. Depending on the measurement, the MCU2 is connected to a single or multiple
MPD 800 devices using fiber-optic technology. The MPD 800 devices and RBP1 batteries are connected
to the test object either directly or via CPL1 or CPL2 coupling devices. The MCU2 is connected via USB to
a laptop or PC with the installed MPD analysis software. This approach results in several advantages:

> Safe testing approach due to galvanic isolation

> Battery-operated power supply
> Minimum of influences from the surroundings
> High synchronicity to improve PD analysis

SAFE APPROACH
You benefit from a clear separation of the high-voltage and
working areas as only the measurement equipment must
be placed in the high-voltage area. The test engineer can
work safely on the computer in the working area due to the
provided galvanic isolation.

MINIMIZED INFLUENCES
The fiber-optic cable to the MCU2 unit reduces the influence of
interference coupling, minimizes ground loops and ensures a safe
approach. Compared to conventional wires, fiber-optic cables
enable precise synchronicity of all connected units down to the
nanosecond range.

How to prepare partial discharge measurements

Flexible application-oriented packages

The MPD Suite software offers different software packages, software add-ons
and modules for our MPD 800 system. You can choose between a set of soft-
ware packages from essential to universal, and tailored application-oriented
software packages.
Dedicated software modules provide you with specific functionalities, such as
a .COM and web-based interface for easy automation, or for partial discharge
(PD) measurement during DC voltage testing.

Have peace of mind

The integrated “self check” functionality
helps you to ensure the correct and reliable
operation of the connected MPD 800 units
and check the communication with the
software.

Software upgrades can be easily

executed from the start page by installing
the new license file.

The start page gives you easy access to recorded dataset files, created reports and customized user profiles.

6
 Simplify your user profiles
The MPD Suite software can be completely customized depending on your
needs. You can set individual test specifications, such as frequency range, filters,
assessment levels or hide individual software components such as tabs, diagrams,
buttons, or feature groups.
This is useful, for example, in cases of dedicated testing applications, such as PD
analysis on rotating machines or cables where you do not need all of the features
the software offers.

By changing the software settings and defining dedicated user profiles, you can simplify
the user interface and save time.

How to set and perform partial discharge measurements

Keep an overview
Commonly, multiple MPD 800 devices are in use for multi-channel
measurements or testing of transformers, generators, or on-site cable
testing. The “system overview” functionality provides a clear overview
of your measurement setup. It displays all connected MPD 800 units and
shows the most important partial discharge (PD) measurement values and
settings of each PD channel. Thus, you can keep an overview of the MPD
measurement setup.

Configure your measurement Calibrate your setup

PD events can sometimes be overlaid by disturbances Using the MPD 800 system, you can calibrate
in certain frequencies. MPD 800 allows you to select charge according to IEC or RIV (Radio Influence

real PD. comparability of the gained results.

8
Powerful recording and replay
MPD 800 records dedicated PD and RIV events into dataset files. These files
contain unprocessed raw data and include all measured values and all relevant
system settings. That way, measurements become traceable and you can use all
kinds of analysis, gating and reporting functions for post-analysis.
The recorded dataset files can be cut individually, for example, to focus on
relevant PD events. As the playback speed can be freely selected, some sections
can be played back more slowly in order to be analyzed in greater detail.

Customize your reports

You can record specific PD events, export the measurement
data afterwards as .xml or as .csv files, and save diagrams on an
individual basis.
In addition, you can adapt the report by selecting all included parts,
reordering information, add screenshots or your company logo.
At the end, reports can be stored as PDF files.

Cable factory testing

PD testing on medium- and high-voltage cables starts in the factory as this

clearly reveals manufacturing-related insulation defects. During factory testing,
the test voltage is increased according the relevant international standard, while
the PD signals are decoupled within the coupling capacitor path.
A test voltage is applied that is higher than the normal operating voltage of the
power cable and the PD measurement is made to determine whether the cable
insulation is free from PD before it is put into service.

Partial discharge testing in high-voltage test laboratories

Partial discharge (PD) testing is essential for high-voltage components used in

many electrical assets, such as electrical insulators, bushings, converters and
capacitors. It is important to determine whether they meet specific design and
operational requirements.
Off-line single-phase PD measurements are performed on these components in a
test lab with an external voltage source according to international standards.
In many cases, a test voltage is applied that is higher than the normal operating
voltage. Also the PD measurement is made while other machines run in the
factory, creating disturbances which influence the PD testing.
These types of measurements are performed on a pass-fail basis during the
development of high-voltage components as well as quality control during
factory acceptance tests.

Partial discharge measurements on power transformers

When measuring and analyzing partial discharge (PD) activity in power

transformers, the particular tests and test set-ups are determined by the type of
transformer and depend on the standards according to which the measurements
are performed.
Depending on the type of bushings used, MPD 800 is connected either to
the capacitive tap of the bushings or to an external coupling capacitor. PD is
measured either in μV (according to IEEE standards) or in pC (according to the
IEC 60270 standard).
PD measurements on power transformers are performed during factory
acceptance, on-site commissioning and routine testing in order to detect critical
defects in the insulation and assess potential risks.

Partial discharge measurements on rotating machines

Partial discharge (PD) testing on rotating electrical machines is performed

according to international standards, either off-line when the machine is taken
out of service and energized with a high-voltage source or when the machine is
in service.
Depending on whether the star point is accessible, a single-phase measurement
can be done. Otherwise a three-phase measurement in combination with source
separation techniques enables you to identify PD activity in a specific phase.
Off-line PD measurements on rotating machines are performed during factory
acceptance, on-site commissioning and routine maintenance testing to
detect critical defects in the insulation and assess potential risks. On-line PD
measurements can also be performed on large generators when in service using
permanently installed coupling capacitors.
