Method of testing

PD Surge / HVAC

 Highlights
  • determining the inception and extinction voltage according to IEC 61934
  • very high reproducibility owing to special filter technology
  • special coupling technology for measuring completely assembled motors
  • extremely free of any disturbances due to special high-frequent filter technology
  • no shielding of the test area necessary
  • partial discharge test up to 25KV
  • qualification of enameled copper wire (twisted pair), enamel-insulation, impregnation procedure
 General information

The partial discharge test serves for checking the winding quality of winding goods. The test can be performed in combination with the high-voltage test (sine) as well as with the surge test. The main aspect is detecting any quality faults at windings that cannot be detected by the conventional high-voltage test or surge test.

Owing to the coupling technology combined with a high-frequent filter technology the system is extremely free of any disturbances. Thus it can be very well used directly on-site or in the production.

 

 Assembly and connections

The partial discharge measuring (filtering and analysis) is completely integrated in the MTC2. Only the uncoupling (measuring) of the actual partial discharge signal is performed outside the tester. This is necessary for an ideal adaption to the respective measuring situation. The test at an open stator winding or at a completely assembled motor is no problem for the MTC2.

 

The partial discharge measuring at an open stator winding is performed via a high-sensitive antenna  which is put inside the test object or in its direct surrounding.

 

The measuring at a completely assembled motor cannot be performed via an antenna as the high-frequent signals are shielded by the closed motor cabinet. In these cases the measuring is performed via a special coupler which is grinded in the measuring lead.

The antenna as well as the coupler can be optionally connected to the MTC2. Thus you are well equipped for every test application.

The combination of these two measuring methods for a partial discharge test in one tester is unique on the market.

 Partial discharge test at HV-AC

The test is performed fully-automatically via a previously set test sequence. A ramp function is run in which the test voltage is continuously increased. As soon as the first partial discharges occur this voltage is stored as PDIV (inception voltage).

Now the voltage is reduced again until the partial discharge completely disappears. This point is detected as PDEV (extinction voltage) and also stored. Due to preferably short test times in the production the intensity of the partial discharges can also be determined at a preset voltage. Thus it can be distinguished between "GO" and "NO GO" within milliseconds.

In addition it is also possible to perform the test manually. Here the operator continuously increases the voltage while monitoring the partial discharge signal.

 

 Partial discharge test at surge voltage

The test is performed either manually or automatically. In the manual mode the operator increases the voltage continuously while monitoring the partial discharge signal.

Via a test sequence the automatic operation fully-automatically provides an analysis of all three phases. The following values are determined per phase: PDIV (inception voltage), PDEV (extinction voltage), RPDIV (repeating inception voltage), and RPDEV (repeating extinction voltage).

Here it is also necessary to run the complete ramp. If it has to be distinguished quickly between GO and NO GO in the production it can be operated with a preset test voltage.

All results are automatically stored and protocolled.
