Partial Discharge Cable Testing

 

Partial Discharge Cable Testing

Partial discharge is a localized electrical discharge or spark that occurs within the insulation of medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) cables when the dielectric insulation begins to deteriorate. These are tiny electric sparks — Not severe enough to bridge the insulation and cause an immediate short circuit — But they are the first indication of insulation deterioration, as stated by the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Features of Partial Discharge Cable Testing

Early Fault Detection
PD testing can identify insulation defects at an early stage, long before they develop into catastrophic failures. This includes voids, water trees, electrical trees, and manufacturing defects.

 

Non-Destructive Diagnostic Method
Most PD testing techniques are non-destructive, meaning they do not damage the cable insulation. The cable can often be tested without affecting its long-term performance.

High Sensitivity to Insulation Defects

PD measurement systems can detect extremely small discharge events (in pico-Coulomb range), making them highly sensitive to minor insulation weaknesses.

Condition-Based Maintenance Support

PD data helps operators move from time-based maintenance to condition-based maintenance (CBM), improving asset reliability and reducing unnecessary maintenance costs.

Capability for Defect Localization

Advanced PD systems can estimate the location of insulation defects along the cable length using signal reflection or time-difference methods.

 

Type of Partial Discharge Cable Testing

 

 

Offline PD Testing
Offline PD testing is performed when the cable is de-energized and isolated from the system. A controlled high-voltage source is applied to stimulate PD activity.

 
 

Online PD Testing
Online PD testing is conducted while the cable is operating under normal service voltage. Sensors detect PD signals without interrupting power supply.

 
 

Very Low Frequency (VLF) PD Testing
VLF PD testing uses very low frequency AC voltage (typically 0.1 Hz) to stress the cable insulation while detecting PD activity.

 
 

DAC (Damped AC) PD Testing
DAC testing applies a decaying oscillating waveform that simulates real operating stress conditions on cable insulation.

 
 

Tan Delta Combined PD Testing
This method combines Tan Delta (dissipation factor) measurement with PD detection to assess both global and localized insulation conditions.

Test steps of Partial Discharge Cable Testing

 

Connect the device

Connect the oscillating wave generator to the cable to be measured. Generally, the output end of the oscillating wave generator is connected to the high voltage end of the cable, and the partial discharge detector is connected to the grounding end of the cable.

Set parameters

According to the rated voltage of the cable and test requirements, set the frequency and amplitude of the oscillation wave. In general, the frequency of the oscillating wave should be selected near the resonant frequency of the cable insulation material to improve the detection sensitivity of partial discharge.

Apply oscillating wave

Start the oscillating wave generator and apply oscillating wave to the cable. At this time, the phenomenon of partial discharge in the cable will be excited to produce a specific electrical signal.

Monitoring signal

Use the partial discharge detector to monitor the partial discharge signal generated in the cable. The detector can record the amplitude, frequency and duration of partial discharge in real time, and transmit the data to the computer for analysis.

Data analysis

Analyze the monitored partial discharge signal by oscilloscope or special software. Generally, the larger the amplitude of the partial discharge signal, the more serious the insulation defect. During the analysis process, it should be compared with historical data to determine the change of cable insulation status.

Precautions

Safety: Safety operation procedures should be strictly followed during the test to ensure the safety of the operator.

 

Regular maintenance: The test equipment should be verified and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation and avoid test errors caused by equipment failures.

 

Data recording: After each test, the test parameters and results should be recorded in detail for long-term tracking and analysis.

 

Environmental impact: When conducting the test, the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the test results should be avoided as far as possible, and shielding measures can be taken if necessary.
