Multi-source partial discharge detection and rapid localization of switchgear based on comprehensive diagnosis method

Partial discharge detection is an effective method to find potential insulation defects in switchgear. At present, the switchgear is mainly composed of busbars, circuit breakers, grounding knives, cables and other components, which leads to multiple faults and simultaneous discharges in the partial discharge detection process of the switchgear. In order to realize the partial discharge detection and rapid location of the switchgear, based on the introduction of the detection methods and location principles of ultrasonic, transient ground voltage and UHF partial discharge, this paper proposes to use ultrasonic, transient ground voltage and UHF detection technology to diagnose and analyse the multi-source partial discharge of the switchgear and realize the detection of partial discharge; the multi-source partial discharge of the switchgear is realized by the rapid localization method combining the UHF time difference method and the flat surface method. Through partial discharge detection and localization analysis of a 35kV switchgear, the feasibility of multi-source partial discharge diagnosis and rapid localization method is verified, which provides a basis for on-site inspection personnel to realize multi-source partial discharge detection and localization of switchgear.
