Analysis parameters:
All these methods are analyze the data and gives and
indication of the probable source and type of partial discharge
in the specimen such as phaseresolvedamplitudedistribution of
discharges gives variation in the amplitude and repetition rate
in +ve and ve half cycles. Also it is seen that pulse repetition
rate in oil is lesser than other solid parts and further it is lesser
for sharp points than large voids and floating objects.
Fig. 2. PRPD and TRPD analysis of PD signals.
Discharge levels are high (up to 1000 pC) for large bubbles
and surface discharges and low (up to 100 pC) for small voids,
can be compared for locating the PD source. sharp edges.
Bursts and instability in the signals are attributed to presence
of moisture (Improper drying or ageing), enclosed type
discharges, gap (or) void type, sharp protrusion and surface
type discharges.

IV. SUMMARY
In all the methods moisture / degradation in the oil can not
be detected. Ideally the combination of all three PD detection
methods is most powerful diagnostic tool. Rough detection of
the problems is possible using an electromagnetic sensor,
identification of insulation condition with electric methods
and location of the PD source by an acoustic device.
Electrical method is the only effective tool in detecting PD
activity below 1000 pC and acoustic emission technique for
above 10000pC and above. DGA analysis can be used as an
alarm tool.
Latest trends in location of PD sources
1. Location of internal faults using digital XRay technology.
2. Online location of PD sources using wavelet transform to
the impulse response of electrical equipments.
3. Online PD source location using artificial intelligence in
pattern recognition.
