Application of a mobile system in diagnostics of power capacitors using the acoustic emission method
This paper presents the results obtained from measurements and analyses of acoustic emission (AE) signals generated by partial discharges (PD) in a model of power capacitors during experiments carried out under laboratory conditions. A remotely-controlled mobile unit (RCMU) has been
used in experimental tests, allowing the safe execution of measurements in hazardous conditions. The measurement set-up and construction of the RCMU is presented. The study confirmed that it is possible to use a remotely-controlled mobile unit for carrying out measurements under high voltage.
The most significant contribution of the paper lies in the idea that the PD of a condenser for electric power is detected using a mobile system, which can also be applied for other purposes related to the non-destructive diagnosis of power equipment systems working under difficult operating
conditions.
