    Partial Discharge (PD) can occur on any high-voltage equipment. This study is particularly concerned with the PD that occurs on underground cables. Researchers frequently struggle to isolate interference noise from the PD signal when doing PD measurements. Therefore, to reduce the interference noise during PD measurements, Sallen-Key High Pass Filter (HPF) with a 500 kHz, or a little bit higher cut-off frequency are designed. This filter is designed with a designated cut-off frequency value because the frequency range of the PD signal is between 1 MHz to 1 GHz. Based on the results of experimental testing for actual filters, the designed filter is a HPF with a cut-off frequency of 500 kHz. When the generator function's input frequency values are set between 500 kHz and 2.4 MHz, the signal will pass the filter and provide output values for both frequencies and amplitude. However, at frequencies lower than 500 kHz, the signal is beginning to be filtered and the output signal's amplitude is getting close to zero. Based on the PD testing results, there is interference on the PD signal shown on the oscilloscope when a 1kV supply is applied to an underground cable without using a filter. But, when the proposed filter is used in PD testing, the ripple voltage is reduced from 123 mV to 67 mV. This proves that when the designed HPF is used in PD testing, it can reduce interference noise on the PD signal.

    Development of detachable Rogowski Coil current sensor using PCB for High Voltage cable partial discharge measurement
    Insulation failure in High Voltage (HV) cables is evaluated using a variety of monitoring techniques. Previous silicon technologies were outperformed by wide-bandgap semiconductor power devices with faster switching speeds. Their precise current management or current protection measures must be upgraded. As a result, their precise current control or protection measures have become more sophisticated. The traditional Rogowski Coil (RC) with the magnetic core, on the other hand, has low measurement accuracy, a short measuring range, and is difficult to fabricate. This paper presents and discusses the development of a Rogowski Coil using a detachable Printed Circuit Board (PCB) as a current sensor for Partial Discharge (PD) measurement. Furthermore, the development of this innovative current sensor concentrated on the detachable PCB Rogowski Coil's capability to measure as a high-voltage (HV) current sensor and its sensitivity in fault diagnosis, over-voltage current sensing, and high-impulse current sensing on HV cables. The experimental design, techniques, and measurement parameters used in models were discussed. Finally, a brief analysis of the detachable PCB RC current sensor such as sensitivity, maximum voltage and current detection is presented. This paper can also be used as a guideline for other researchers to develop an advanced RC current sensor using PCB as a HV current sensor in the future. The measurement results of the detachable PCB RC current sensor such as the sensitivity and current detection signal can also be used as a guideline by another researcher. As a result, the goal of this project is to measure PD on HV cables using an RC current sensor by utilising PCB technology.
