Case Study 7 PD source from inside of insulation

Internal Inspection Findings

Case Study 8 Signal (PD and 6 pulse) was collected from HFCT installed on the tank ground of Transformer. This signal(PD and 6 pulse) transmitted from the generator side.

6 pulse coming from Generator side

Inspection Findings

Case Study 9
Warning level of PD was collected from HFCT installed on the tank ground of Transformer. This PD transmitted from the generator and shot down the generator for maintenance

PD burst collected from HFCT
