Slot Partial Discharge
Partial Discharge Partial discharges are small electrical sparks that occur within the electric insulation of switchgear, cables, transformers, and windings in large motors and generators. Partial Discharge Analysis is a proactive diagnostic approach that uses partial discharge (PD) measurements to evaluate the integrity of this equipment. The impact of humidity on the slot partial discharge (PD) process was evaluated in a laboratory experiment conducted in a climatic chamber under constant humidity and temperature. Two stator bars, subjected to slot PDs at two temperatures (28°C and 85°C), were aged at twice their nominal phase-to-ground voltage (16 kV) under three absolute. Diesel Generator Set.

Slot Partial Discharge Procedure
For the earliest detection of insulation breakdown, partial discharge provides another level of high accuracy electric motor analysis over and above that achieved by the standard surge test. The partial discharge test has become more important to evaluate insulation in electric motors within the last few years. This is especially true do to the large increase of Variable Frequency Drives for the motor control.
The Partial Discharge test is characterized by detecting micro-discharges in a partial part of the insulation at an early stage. The micro-discharges in one part of the insulation system will, in due course, lead to increasing damage at this point. After hours, days, weeks, months or years the insulation system is weakened due to persistent micro-discharges and a complete failure occurs
The Partial Discharge serves for testing the insulation quality. The test is always performed in connection with a high-voltage AC test.
| The picture shows a loose winding wire. The winding wire touches the lamination or is a small distance away from it. In a high-voltage test such a defect is only detected with either a very high test voltage (not always possible) or if the winding wire is actually damaged at this specific location By means of the Partial Discharge (Arc-Detection) this defect is detected. |
| The picture shows a slot in which a part of the slot liner is missing. The winding wire touches the lamination or is a small distance away from it. In a high-voltage test such a defect is only detected with either a very high test voltage (not always possible) or if the winding wire is actually damaged at this specific location By means of the Partial Discharge (Arc-Detection) this defect is detected. |
