摘要：
Electromagnetic waves generated due to partial discharge (PD) can be captured by ultra-high-frequency (UHF) antennas. The size and frequency band of an UHF antenna for PD online monitoring are critical factors for practical installation inside a transformer. This paper presents a compact multi-band UHF Hilbert fractal antenna with wide frequency band and suitable size for easy installation. Design criteria of a PD antenna were proposed and the Hilbert fractal antenna was selected as an appropriate candidate for PD detection. Principle of Hilbert fractal antenna was discussed and a fourth order Hilbert fractal antenna was optimized for detecting PD signals. Actual PD experiments have been carried out for two typically artificial insulation defect models while the antenna was used for the PD measurement. More simulation studies and actual PD experiments have been done to further examine the effects of electromagnetic wave refraction and reflection by transformer components. The results show that the proposed UHF antenna is qualified for PD online monitoring.
