| Presentation: |
Partial Discharge. Formal title: Medium
Voltage Switchgear: Failure Modes, Case Studies, and
Predictive Opportunities via the Use of Partial Discharge
Monitoring. Electrical preventative
and predictive maintenance are important aspects
in assuring the reliability and integrity of electrical
distribution systems. However, one of the most
overlooked maintenance items in operating facilities
today is the medium voltage switchgear. Typically
maintenance is focused on the breaker compartments,
the cable compartments, the circuit breakers and
the protective relays. By far the most under-maintained
component in plant electrical distribution systems
is the main bus insulation system of medium voltage
switchgear. This presentation will review the current
IEEE available failure data related to MV equipment
and case studies of failure modes as well as preventive
measures by the use of partial discharge technology
and monitoring. Example of applying partial discharge
technology to MV motors and generators will also
be presented.
