Nairobi coupling capacitor test

Coupling capacitors are used for the decoupling of PD current pulses together with measuring impedances placed in series in standard measuring circuits to convert into voltage pulses for analysis with a PD detector according to IEC 60270. The coupling capacitor also acts to drop the test voltage to a safe, measurable value.

What is a coupling capacitor?

The coupling capacitor is by far the most commonly used sensors. They usually consist of a high-voltage capacitor that is connected in parallel to the test object. When a PD event occur, the energy stored in the coupling capacitor will supply part of the recharging current.

How does a coupling capacitor measure a partial discharge?

When a partial discharge event occurs, the coupling capacitor provides the devices under test (DUT) with a displacement current, which is measurable at the coupling devices (CPL). Such an approach provides additional information about the test discharge (PRPD) measurement. OMICRON ofers standard coupling capacitors from 12 kV up to 100 kV.

How do you measure a coupling capacitor discharge (PRPD)?

discharge (PRPD) measurement. OMICRON ofers standard coupling capacitors from 12 kV up to 100 kV. When using a coupling capacitor without an integrated measuring impedance, the low side of the coupling capacitor has to be connected to the input of the CPL measuring impedance (basic test setup with measurement on ground potential).

How does a coupling device work?

Another accepted test circuit is the use of a bushing capacitance C1 to replace the coupling capacitor. The coupling device is therefore connected to the bushing tap. The coupling device is usually a four-terminal network that is often referred to as quadripole. It converts to PD current pulse into an output voltage.

Coupling Capacitors

Coupling capacitors are used for the decoupling of PD current pulses together with measuring impedances placed in series in standard measuring circuits to convert into voltage pulses for analysis with a PD detector according to IEC 60270. The coupling capacitor also acts to drop the test voltage to a safe, measurable value.
