24、 6.4.3.1 Background Noise 8 Appendix A Principles of Partial Discharge Testing 10 ANSI/ICEA T-24-380-2013 Page 1 1.0 SCOPE This Factory Test Procedure applies to the detection and measurement of partial discharges occurring in the following types of solid dielectric cables: 1.1 Single Conductor Cabl
25、es Single conductor shielded cables and assemblies thereof. 1.2 Multiple Conductor Cables Multiple conductor cables with individually shielded conductors within an outer covering. 2.0 DEFINITIONS Partial Discharge Level: The partial discharge level of the cable under test shall be the maximum contin
26、uous or repetitious apparent charge magnitude, measured in pC occurring at the test voltage. Partial Discharge Extinction Level: The partial discharge extinction level is the voltage at which the apparent charge magnitude falls to five pC or less when, measured in the manner described herein, as the
27、 applied voltage is decreased from the prescribed initial value. Superposition: The summation response of the partial discharge measuring device to either concurrent or time-spaced multiple discharges. The magnitude of superposition is expressed by the percent it differs from the response to known i
28、ndividual discharges. Negative Superposition: A summation response less than the response to the individual discharges. pC: picocoulombs. Positive Superposition: A summation response greater than the response to individual discharges. Pulse Resolution Time: The minimum pulse separation in microsecon
29、ds which produces ten percent positive superposition. Primary Display: The indicating or metering device which is used for the primary calibration of the test equipment and display of discharges during a partial discharge test. The primary display is usually, though not necessarily, a cathode ray os
30、cilloscope or a liquid crystal display (LCD). (See ANSI/ICEA T-24-380-2013 Page 2 Section 6.4 for Supplementary Measuring Devices.) Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the test circuit (with the high voltage supply and the instruments) is defined as the minimum detectable discharge pulse that can be obs
31、erved in the presence of background noise. Individual, clearly identifiable interference pulses may be disregarded. 3.0 TEST APPARATUS The test apparatus shall consist of: 3.1 Alternating-Current Power Supply An alternating-current power supply having a kilovolt ampere capacity adequate for the leng
32、th of cable under test. For the purposes of this test procedure, filters, inductors, and other necessary equipment up to the point at which the cable under test is connected shall be considered to be part of the power supply. The high voltage circuits, the cable terminations, and the test facility s
33、hall be designed and operated in such a manner that the basic interference level is sufficient to achieve the required sensitivity. 3.2 Voltage Measuring Device A voltage measuring device connected directly to the test cable in such a manner that it corresponds to the voltage impressed across the ca
34、ble dielectric. The voltage measuring device must be verified in accordance with Section 6.1. 3.3 Partial Discharge Measuring Device A partial discharge measuring device, which has been verified in accordance with Section 6. The device shall consist of a primary detection circuit, an amplifier and a
35、 primary display. The amplifier output shall be displayed on the primary display using a power frequency time base. A narrow-band pd detection instrument shall be utilized with a measuring frequency tunable within the range of 50 kHz to 1 MHz. 3.4 Partial Discharge Calibrator A partial discharge cal
36、ibrator, which has been verified in accordance with Section 6. The partial discharge calibrator shall consist of a pulse generator and a capacitor. The charge magnitude method (in which the charge transfer in coulombs is equal to the product of the coupling capacitance of the calibrating capacitor i
37、n farads and the calibrating pulse amplitude in volts: (Q=CV) shall be used to calibrate the test equipment. 3.5 Supplementary Partial Discharge Meters and Graphic Recorders Supplementary partial discharge meters and graphic recorders or printers may be used to monitor the amplifier or primary displ
38、ay output of the partial discharge measuring device. Supplementary meters, which have been verified in accordance with Section 6, may be used as a primary display. ANSI/ICEA T-24-380-2013 Page 3 4.0 CALIBRATION OF TEST EQUIPMENT 4.1 Calibration Schedule The test equipment shall be calibrated at the
39、beginning of each working shift of testing according to the following procedure. In addition, the test equipment shall be recalibrated any time the cable being tested is not of the same general construction (different size conductor, metallic shield, nominal insulation thickness or insulation materi
40、al) as the cable used for the most recent calibration, or any time the length of the cable being tested differs from the length of the cable used for the most recent calibration by more than 25%. 4.2 Calibration Procedure 4.2.1 Calibrator Connections The partial discharge calibrator shall be connect
41、ed to the conductor at the end of the test cable opposite that of the partial-discharge detection circuitry. For test lengths of less than 100 ft., the calibrator may be connected to either end of the cable. 4.2.2 Primary Display Sensitivity With one end of the cable connected to the high voltage po
42、wer source and to the partial discharge detection circuit, the amplifier gain shall be adjusted so that the following minimum primary display sensitivity requirements are met. 4.2.2.1 Display Adjustment An oscillographic display should be adjusted to represent 10 pC per centimeter. Other types of di
43、splays and recorders should be adjusted to reflect 5 pC at not less than 20% of the full-scale reading. 4.2.2.2 Detector Response A suitable detector response is obtainable for a charge magnitude of five pC or less. 4.2.3 Supplementary Measuring Devices The gain and response of supplementary measuri
44、ng devices used for recording the test results or for conducting the test shall be adjusted to meet the minimum primary display requirements. 4.2.4 Partial Discharge Scale The accuracy and linearity of the scale used for indicating partial discharge shall be verified in accordance with section 6.2.1
45、 and have a capability of 5% or 1 pC which ever is greater, over the full display range. ANSI/ICEA T-24-380-2013 Page 4 4.2.5 Calibration Signal Display A means of displaying the calibration signal shall be provided. The amplifier gain shall be adjusted only when the calibration signal is displayed. The sensitivity of displays used to conduct the test or record data shall not be less than given in 4.2.2, 4.2.3 and 4.2.4. The calibrating signal shall be provided by: 4.2.5.1 Calibrating Capacitor A calibrating capacitor which is full-voltage rated and forms part of the primary calib
