Abstract:
A partial discharge detection board includes a voltage divider configured to attenuate a voltage of a reflected signal. A buffer is connected to the voltage divider. The buffer attenuates frequencies of the reflected signal that are greater than an upper cutoff frequency. An analog-to-digital converter is connected to the buffer. The analog-to-digital converter receives portions of the reflected signal up to the upper cutoff frequency, and the analog-to-digital converter converts the reflected signal from an analog domain to a digital domain. A filter is connected to the analog-to-digital converter. The filter attenuates frequencies of the reflected signal that are less than a lower cutoff frequency. A comparator is connected to the filter. The comparator compares the voltage of the reflected signal to a reference voltage. A counter is connected to the comparator. The counter increments when the voltage of the reflected signal is greater than the reference voltage.
