This paper presents the practical detection of partial discharge signals using a UHF sensor mounted on a power transformer and then the detailed analysis of a signal is done. The first part of the paper describes possible partial discharge sources in power transformers, UHF method and UHF sensor. In the second part of the paper, received signal at UHF sensor is considered. In order to accurately determine the magnitude of the partial discharge signal, especially if the location of the partial discharge source is far from the location of the UHF sensor, it is necessary to separate the signal from the background noise. This is only possible at intervals between individual bursts of the observed partial discharges. The spectral composition of the received signal is considered and a method for separating the present noise from the useful components of the partial discharge signal is established. The presumable main cause of partial discharges is evaluated.

This article presents a new approach of partial discharges (PD) source location in power cables. The main advantage of this approach is the detection of the propagation direction of the PD. The method provides a pattern named by the authors PD+D, which, in contrast to the well–known phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) pattern, graphically shows the direction of PD propagation and uses the polarity of a sensor array on top of the magnitudes of the positive and negative parts of each PD pulse to detect the direction of propagation, is described in detail. The proposed technique is useful for the evaluation and diagnosis of power cables, since it can identify incipient faults. The attained results that demonstrate the value of this methodology and their scope and limitations are discussed.
