Abstract

Partial discharge (PD) is the major source of insulation failure in power transformers. PD identification is an important diagnostic tool for the reliable operation of transformers. In this paper, normalization principle is used in correlation method for location of PD pulse. The limitation of normalized correlation method is further improved by using Butterworth band pass filter, standard error and hypothesis t-test which may assist in identifying the salient features of the winding responses due to PD in transformer windings. The experimental studies are performed on 22kV interleaved winding to prove the feasibility of the method.
