    How to Measure Partial Discharge

    Since charge is calculated by integral current over time, the partial discharge (PD) data acquisition unit detects the
    voltage drop across the known effective resistor of the coupling devices (CD) in the test circuit. This resistor will be
    R, t1 and t2, which are defined by the user of the measurement system.

    In addition to time domain integration, the traditional method integration in the frequency domain can be used.
    The integration in the frequency domain is done by a frequency filter, typically by a band-pass and a peak detection
    system. The link between the time domain Integration and frequency domain can be shown physically by using the
    Fourie Transformation:

    In modern PD measurement systems, the input signal including the PD pulse gets pre-amplified and digitized by an
    analog/digital converter. The further processing is done by digital filters, digital detection and a computer. Because
    of their digital nature, these subunits are stable and reproducible and do not change their behavior over time and
    temperature.
    Furthermore, the user is able to switch the measuring frequency and alter the bandwidth. The PD impulses
    are evaluated by maintaining their amplitude and point of time when they occurred, which allows precise
    measurement of the PD pulse regarding the charge value, the phase position of test voltage and other methods.

    In case of the MPD PD measurement and analysis system, more PD processing functions are included in the hardware, such
    as thresholds and adjustable pre-amplifiers. The voltage signal is digitized as well. All of this information is transmitted via
    fiber optical cables. These fiber optic cables and the external rechargeable battery allow the user to use the measurement
    system safety in the high-voltage (HV) area and even on high-voltage potential. The information about PD and voltage is
    processed further in the computer. A recording of the entire measurement is possible.
    The IEC 60270 recommends two different filter settings. These include wide band measurement and narrow band
    measurement.
    For a wide band measurement, the recommendation is:
    Lower frequency limit and above or equal to 30 kHz and below or equal to 100 kHz
    Higher frequency limit below or equal to 1 MHz
    Bandwidth of 100 kHz to 900 kHz
    Polarity detection can be possible

    For a small band measurement, the recommendation is:


    Center Frequency range between 50 kHz and 1 MHz
    Bandwidth of 9 kHz to 30 kHz

    The PD Measurement according IEC 60270 is the basis for many applications, different assets and different voltage levels.
    This is reflected in a variety of IEC, CIGRE and IEEE guides and standards which refer to the IEC 60270 standard. Therefore,
    the IEC 60270 standard is very important for acceptance measurements in the test fields of manufacturers as part of their
    type and routine tests on high-voltage equipment.
    The on-site partial discharge measurement is often conducted with a filter setting out of the recommended range by IEC
    60270 to avoid a high noise condition. The MPD data acquisition unit allows users to adjust the filter setting to find out
    the optimized SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) to ensure high sensitivity for the PD measurement and a high robustness against
    noise for further analysis.
