The transformer is the incipient discharges caused due to transducer most often used in AE applications for acquiring deterioration of insulation. The insulation in the converter the PD is piezoelectric transducer. transformers is stressed not only by AC voltages but also with The location of discharges in the transformer is to be remnant DC voltages. The Acoustic Emission (AE) Technique exactly evaluated, so that the preventive maintenance is done can identify such incipient discharges in the converter effectively for reliable operation of electrical power system. transformer. In the present work, experimental studies were To implement the above, AE technique is used by mounting carried out by simulating various incipient discharges such as the AE sensors in three dimensions in the transformer for corona discharge, partial discharge (PD) and surface discharge in an insulation test cell under AC and DC voltages by using AE locating discharges in the
