What is Partial Discharge? 
什么是局放
‘Electrical discharge that does not completely bridge the 
space between two conducting electrodes’
Where in insulation does PD 
occur? 局放产生的位置





What are the effects of PD? 局放会带来什么危害
Individual discharges are low energy but they are very localised and can be very repetitive.
Damage is caused by;
      Mechanical – Ionic bombardment
Thermal – Local heating at discharge site
Chemical – Discharge energy breaks chemical bonds
Classification of PD 
局放的等级
Switchgear PD can be classified into 3 distinct 
types
Corona – Ionization of fluid (air) 
surrounding conductor – usually visible.
      (Surface) 
Tracking – Electrical tracking 
over contaminated insulator
      Arcing – Electrical breakdown of a gas 
that produces plasma discharge
PD and Noise 
局放与背景噪声
Every substation or test point has background noise in the 
frequency range of TEV devices.
The majority of background noise is within 
acceptable ranges and will not interfere with TEV signals.
However, some 
noise will be high enough to interfere with correct measurement of PD 
activity
Common causes of background noise:
- 
Fluorescent lighting inside 
substations
 Can generate high noise signals very local to measurement point
 Simple to remove
- 
Induced EMC noise from local equipment, 
e.g. Transformers
 Difficult to remove
 Usually lower level
- 
Air Conditioning or environmental 
controls
 Easy to remove
- Differentiating between PD and Noise is the KEY to effective PD detection. The LECOM PD-LSGS has an in-built noise rejection method;
- Pulses per cycle:
- The LECOM PD-LSGS has a built in Noise rejection system. Informing the user when detected pulses are too frequent in the power cycle to be PD.
- 
When the LECOM PD-LSGS detects noise, the 
screen will
 Alternate between a Noise warning and the dB
 Reading detected.
The test systems will identify noisy 
environments.
Confirm this by placing the device within the substation but 
away from the switchgear:
      – On cabinets
      – Metal panels
      – etc
It is important to then attempt to 
remove the noise:
      – Check the common sources
Most noise will fall within acceptable limits (that is < 30dB)
Noise higher than 30dB that cannot be removed should be investigated by a LECOM PD-LSG1 device to assess the pattern in the power cycle
This will help conclude if it is noise, as well as often allowing the user to see the PD within the noise

Signs of PD 局放产生后有什么现象出现
– Smell of 
Ozone. Ozone:
 burning wire smell; spark smell; metallic; battery smell

Actual evidence:


PD and Switching
PD most likely to occur during switching
It is essential to test before switching.
- If PD is present, manual switching must not take place.
- Consult your companies policy and procedures for whether remote switching should take place
