1 Field Experiences Partial Discharge Diagnosis on MV Cables Philipp Legler Technical Support Applications Engineer (Megger Site Germany) XVI. Szigetelésdiagnosztikai Konferencia ( , Sümeg)

2 Introduction Reasons of Cable Faults Most of them are Workmanship Failures Predominantly caused by Service Contractors (Man Power & Time issued) Main Reasons are Time Pressure - need to do xx Joints a Day (mostly caused by Purchase Department) Joint Hole not large enough Especially in Cities: to much other Cables / Pipes Climatic Conditions Not having the Skills / Certificates 2

3 Case Study No. 1 Operator: DREWAG Test Object: 12/20 kv & only XLPE insulated Cable Length: 367 m Joint Type: Tyco MXSU 5131 Measurement History: (only Phase L2) PD Diagnosis with OWTS 3

4 Case Study No. 1 PD Measurement Results of 1 st Diagnosis (2007) L1 L2 L3 Disturbance Level [pc] PDIV [kv rms ] PDEV [kv rms ] PD max [pc] (PDIV) PD avg [pc] (PDIV) PD max [pc] (U 0 ) PD avg [pc] (U 0 ) PD max [pc] (1.7 U 0 ) PD avg [pc] (1.7 U 0 ) Frequency [Hz]

5 Case Study No. 1 PD Mappings U U 0 U 1.7 U 0 DREWAG just started with Diagnosis (less Experiences & kind of missing Conviction for PD) No final Decision further Investigation 5

37 Summary Summary: PDIV of DAC & 50 Hz Slope Technology (VLF CR) with much lower compared to VLF Sin PD depends on Voltage Gradient over Time Lower the Change of Voltage Lower the PD Activity Results of VLF Sin difficult to interprete with PD Activities at Operation Frequency 37
