Abstract

Partial discharge (PD) location in online diagnostics on medium voltage cables is achieved using a sensor at each cable end. Monitoring consecutive cables with a single monitoring system would, however, be more efficient. Moreover, substations and ring main units (RMU) along a cable connection without possibilities for sensor installation can be circumvented by installing the sensor at the next RMU. This paper studies the influence of RMUs and substations along the cable under test on online PD monitoring, including their influence on detection sensitivity, location accuracy and charge estimate accuracy. Models for RMUs and substation are proposed and verified by measurements. The performance of online PD monitoring is studied for a number of network configurations.
