Abstract

Abstract: Partial discharge (PD) is one of the most popular failure or breakdown that can happen at high voltage (HV) equipment. PD is the fault that causes the insulation breakdown occurred between two electrodes. It happened or occurred because of the improper insulation, ageing, environment effect and manufacturing defects. The loss of the power will affect consumer and system operation. One of the technique that can measure or detect the PD is by using ultra high frequency (UHF) method for HV equipment insulation condition monitoring and assessment. In this paper, the application of UHF method have been reviewed as the best method to detect PD in transformer, GIS and cable. The UHF method for every electrical equipment is described in order to detect the PD and the laboratory result shows that this method can be considered as suitable technique. Based on this review, the new design in UHF sensor is required in order to improve the sensitivity and bandwidth for PD detection in HV equipment. The valuable parameter such as size and PD frequency range can be used for early stage of designing new the UHF sensor.
