Research paper thumbnail of Detection of Corona and Dry-Band Arc Discharges on Nano-Composite Epoxy Insulators Using RF Sensing

Progress In Electromagnetics Research, 2012

Variations in radiated energy were observed due to change in the distance between two water droplets, the contact angle and the volume of the droplets, and the condition of the insulator surface. Changes in the frequency spectrum within the 800 MHz-900 MHz and 1.25 GHz-1.4 GHz frequency bands have been used to identify the transition from corona discharge to dryband arc discharge. The 800 MHz-900 MHz emission band has also been used to monitor the condition of the insulator. These findings highlight the potential for RF sensing in the identification of partial discharges and insulator condition monitoring.
