摘要

To improve the accuracy of PD localization and enhance the maintenance efficiency of gas insulated switchgear (GIS), a partial discharge (PD) localization method based on Ultra High Frequency (UHF) combined with acoustic technique is proposed in this paper. The PD source is located in a rough range with UHF method firstly, which usually consists of two or three chambers. Secondly, the PD source can be located quickly and accurately by detecting the acoustic and UHF signals simultaneously. As the PD localization method detects UHF and acoustic signals of PD synchronously, it can exclude the interference and confirm PD signal more effectively. The laboratory experiment and on-site application results both show that the PD localization method using UHF combined with acoustic method can be used in online GIS PD localization effectively and precisely.
