Power cables behave as transmission lines as regards partial discharge (PD) pulse propagation. Attenuation and dispersion phenomena have, therefore, great influence on the detectability of PD pulses, particularly when long cable routes and detection from terminals are considered. This paper presents an approximate model to infer PD pulse waveform as a function of the distance travelled along the cable and shows results that can provide practical limits for PD detection in cable routes when using IEC 60270-compliant and/or ultra wideband detectors. Considerations on the effect of calibrator characteristics on sensitivity check procedures are, eventually, reported.

Abstract
Power cables behave as transmission lines as regards partial discharge (PD) pulse propagation. Attenuation and dispersion phenomena have, therefore, great influence on the detectability of PD pulses, particularly when long cable routes and detection from terminals are considered. This paper presents an approximate model to infer PD pulse waveform as a function of the distance travelled along the cable and shows results that can provide practical limits for PD detection in cable routes when using IEC 60270-compliant and/or ultra wideband detectors. Considerations on the effect of calibrator characteristics on sensitivity check procedures are, eventually, reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
