Abstract—This paper presents an analysis a measurement overnight If referenced by IEEE C57.143TM-2012, there are
technique to detection and location of partial discharges (PD) in 2 methods used to test PD as follows: 1) Electrical PD
the insulation of power transformers by using acoustic emission Method 2) Acoustic Emissions Method [3]
sensor. Base on the IEEE Std. C57.127-2007, acoustic emission
sensor were used to locate partial discharges and one high In this research, we would like to mention only the
frequency current transducer (HFCT) was used to identify Acoustic Emissions Method (AE) method which is based on
partial discharge. This technique could correctly detection and Standard IEC62478 [4] and IEEEC57.127 [5] Check for
location the source of partial discharges occurring at any position partial discharging with high voltage equipment which is
in power transformers. The result of the findings enabled us to considered a very effective method. It also explains the use

the transformer in time. features and suitability in each device that needs to be
measured vary as shown in Table 1.
