The location of a partial discharge (PD) source inside a transformer can be determined from the time differences of arrival (TDOA) between signals that are captured by an array of UHF sensors. The TDOA can be acquired from the received PD waveforms. In this paper, three different methods of acquiring the TDOA from the…
