4. RESULTS
5. CONCLUSIONS
The prime objective of this study is to design & make a
working model of HV filter suit to the requirement
which will help Transformer Manufacturing Companies
to test transformer with required reduction in
background noise/PD Values.
Picture 4.1.Excitation from LV side through 3 Line These results will ensure the power engineers to predict
source PD filters the quality of the insulation used for high voltage power
In this case LV side of transformer is excited through equipment. The present work is to be extended for
high voltage filter as shown in picture 4.1. and HV side further study in different high voltage power equipment
kept open with HV neutral ground. Level of background such as Current Transformer (CT), Potential
noise is reduced due to filter can be observed in Transformer (PT), switch gear and circuit breaker.
following pictures 4.2 and 4.3. Localization of PD is also easily done by using such
high voltage filter for high current and high voltage
equipments.
