Abstract

This paper deals with partial discharge measurements in twisted pair fed by a PWM inverter. Measurements are carried out using antenna sensors. Both D-Dot sensor and self-made sensors are compared when it comes to detect partial discharge in a PWM environment. High-pass filter performance is tested as well with these sensors. Finally, a innovative noise suppression method is demonstrated using two identical antenna sensors. This method could be a useful and simple mean to improve signal to noise ratio before signal processing.
