摘要
Exploitation of equipment with cross linked polyethylene (XLPE ) insulation requires its condition monitoring and diagnostic. Traditionally diagnostics of insulation is carried out by means of partial discharge detection. However, such identification of a defect, for example, void, inclusion or treeing, does not say about its danger from a point of view of full insulation gap breakdown and insulation construction failure. For this purpose a 29 kV CN-CV cable sample is studied. The experiment is based on research for determination of the dependencies between PD characteristics in XLPE upon time and three dimension PD patterns of corresponding treeing. The investigations were carried out by means of electrical measurement of PD current and simultaneous optical recording of treeing image. The needleplane electrode is applied as the electrode. As a result, -q-n PD patterns which are used as the bases to bush tree initialization and growth can be obtained. Test results show that PD pattern recognition can be applied as a powerful tool for recognizing electrical tree initialization and growth. This can make a good basis for on-line condition monitoring of high voltage power cable.
