Transformer Core Grounding Current: Why Online Monitoring Is Essential

Multi-point grounding faults in power transformers can generate destructive circulating currents that cause localized overheating, oil degradation, and core lamination damage. The DTE2100 online monitoring device provides continuous core ground current surveillance with zero-flux CT technology for early fault detection.

Ultrasonic vs. TEV Detection: The Dual-Mode Approach to Partial Discharge Monitoring

Combining ultrasonic acoustic emission and transient earth voltage detection creates a robust dual-mode PD monitoring system. This article examines the strengths and limitations of each technology and explains how cross-validation between AE and TEV sensors dramatically improves diagnostic reliability compared to single-technology approaches.

Understanding Partial Discharge in Medium-Voltage Distribution Equipment

Partial discharge is a localized dielectric breakdown that serves as the earliest indicator of insulation deterioration in MV/HV switchgear. This article explains PD types, detection technologies including ultrasonic and TEV sensing, and the advantages of continuous online monitoring over traditional offline testing.
