Identification and Location of PD Defects in Medium voltage Underground Power Cables Using High Frequency Current Transformer

Identification and Location of PD Defects in Medium voltage Underground Power Cables Using High Frequency Current Transformer

Fault location is an important diagnostic task in condition monitoring of underground medium voltage cables. Available solutions are well capable of determining the location of a single partial discharge (PD) defect on a cable section. In case several PD defects are active simultaneously along a cab...
