    The magnetic flux density of various geometries of Rogowski Coil for overvoltage measurements
    Overvoltage phenomenon is the common problem that always occurs in the power system and can cause the electrical system network breakdown, and in some cases, it may explode. The frequent overvoltage also can affect and degrade the lifespan of the electrical power system components and network. Thus, the overvoltage sensor is needed to overcome this problem matter. The Rogowski coil (RC) is one of an inductive coil group, and it is suitable for measuring the alternating current (AC) and transient currents or overvoltage. This paper demonstrated the effect of RC magnetic flux density, B with difference cross-section, geometries sizing and the number of turns by using Finite Element Method (FEM). Commonly, there are three types of RC widely used; rectangular, circular and oval. Each of these cross-sections has different characteristics in term of performance. The results have shown that the rectangular cross-section is better than oval and circular cross-section based on the number of magnetic flux density.

    Development and Performance Analysis of the Rogowski coil sensor for Arcing Fault Measurement
    Arcing fault is an overvoltage that usually occurs in the power system network, and it is necessary to monitor this phenomenon in electrical equipment. This paper presents the Rogowski coil (RC) as an arcing fault sensor. Finite element method (FEM) software used for analysing the RC magnetic flux density with two types of RC with the different turns and size demonstrated. The sizing of RC based on the 240 mm2 cross-link polyethene (XLPE) 11 kV underground cable. The prototypes of the RC sensors were designed using Solidworks software and three-dimensional (3D) printer for fabrication purposes. The main objective of the experiment is to investigate the RC effect with high magnetic flux density by implementing in real measurement. An experimental setup for real arcing fault with various voltages (up to 15 kV) was conducted to verify the RC performance, such as sensitivity and bandwidth range. The result has shown that the bandwidth of RC 1 is higher than RC 2 in all measurement by 22.6%.

    Series Arc Fault Detection Sensor Based on an ABS Rogowski Coil in Medium Voltage
    Three types of Rogowski coils were designed and constructed by utilising 3D printing technology: RC1, RC2, and RC3, with the sensors having the same geometrical dimensions but varying number of turns: 20, 50, and 100 respectively. To verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed sensors, a series arc fault generator was set up and high voltage of up to 3-kV was injected. The analysis of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) was done by using MATLAB to determine frequency and voltage amplitude. From the analysis, it was determined that the higher the number of turns, the greater the sensitivity. The resonance frequency (MHz) dropped significantly as the number of turns increased. Furthermore, sensor features such as frequency bandwidth and sensitivity are affected by the number of turns, which was thoroughly investigated in this study. The Rogowski coil was created to detect the high frequency component of the series arc fault signal. All the designed sensors reliably detect the series arc fault signal, according to the experimental results.

    Modelling and simulation of online partial discharge measurement for medium voltage power cable
    This paper presents the modelling of the online partial discharge (PD) measurement of the medium voltage (MV) power cable. Recently, PD monitoring trends are rapidly increasing due to high demand on reliable systems. Degradation are mainly due to the presence of PD in the high voltage power equipment used. PD measurement is therefore a highly recommended task to early detection of the degradation insulation for high voltage (HV) equipment in order to avoid breakdowns. Real network modelling is necessary to improvise system design in order to find the efficiency in a real power system network. In this paper, modelling focuses on a real distribution network by applying Rogowski coil (RC) as a detection sensor to trigger PD activity. The simulation is performed to determine the functionality and reliability of the system with the RC application in the network. The analysis is performed in the ATP-EMTP and MATLAB Simulink software environments. In addition, this paper contributed to justify the approach of a simplified PD sensor and measurement system. This PD measurement system provides a complete solution in the context of condition-oriented monitoring for the ability to apply the RC to trigger PD activity in the power distribution network.
