    Abstract

    The authors present a paper on the application of online partial discharge (PD) testing and monitoring technology for the insulation condition assessment of in service medium voltage (MV 3.3kV to 45kV)) and high voltage (HV 66kV to 750kV) cables and plant. The paper begins with a short summary of the different economic DRIVERS which apply to both public utility and industrial HV networks. The paper presents some of the test techniques employed and the on-line PD sensor technology used to test in-service power cables, switchgear, transformers, rotating machines, CTs/VTs and other HV plant. The paper concludes with some case studies of past projects carried out by the authors from on-line PD test projects testing a wide range of MV & HV assets in electricity networks around the world. © 2011 IEEE.
