What are the methods for eliminating interference in partial discharge testing?

The interference elimination during partial discharge detection mainly involves eliminating interference signals based on the principle of electromagnetic radiation. During on-site testing, the following methods are often used to eliminate interference in the test:

1. Stagger time or turn off interference sources

For some interference sources (such as mobile communication signals, broadcast signals, rail transit, etc.), selecting a smaller signal for partial discharge detection can effectively avoid the interference signal; If there are interference sources that can be turned off during the detection process (such as various rotating motors, electronic fences, lighting, SF6 leak detection devices, air conditioning, etc.), the interference sources can be turned off to avoid affecting the detection results.

2. Choose the appropriate filter

For interference signals with fixed frequencies, appropriate filters can be installed to filter out the interference signal, in order to avoid affecting the partial discharge detection results.

3. Analyze the power frequency correlation of detection signals

Analyzing the power frequency correlation of the detection signal can effectively determine whether the signal is related to the power frequency signal. If it is related, the signal is emitted in the power frequency environment, which is likely to be a partial discharge signal, but it may also come from interference in the power system, such as lights, air conditioning, meter cabinets, and secondary circuits. However, if there is no power frequency correlation, most of it comes from interference signals.

4. Positioning method for eliminating interference signals

When pulse signals are detected, the power frequency correlation of the signal can be preliminarily determined, but further positioning analysis of the signal source is needed. The time difference method can be used to roughly locate and analyze the signal, in order to confirm whether the signal comes from internal partial discharge signals or external interference signals of the equipment.

Analysis method for partial discharge test results:

1. Trend analysis method

Analyze the detection results of the same switchgear at different times, and make a longitudinal comparison to determine the operating trend of the switchgear. Detect the switchgear in the switchgear room according to specific cycles, retain each test result, and then analyze the trend of partial discharge status changes of the equipment based on the test results;

2. Horizontal analysis method

Horizontal comparison is made between the detection results of the switchgear in the same switchgear room. If the detection result of one switchgear is greater than the background value on site and the test results of other switchgear, it can be determined that the equipment may have defects;

3. Threshold comparison refers to providing a judgment threshold, comparing it with the detection results of the switchgear, and analyzing the results to determine the operating status of the switchgear.
