Stops machines unplanned caused by faults in the electrical insulation of the power electric system equipment is a big problem, because account for high losses to plan and undertake performance indicators due long stop period generating unit necessary for the generation function restoration. In order to solve this problem, many researchers and scholars in the field of large rotating machines found that these failures were often related to the increased level of partial discharges (PD) of electrical insulation of the machine. Occurrences of PDs in insulating systems of high voltage equipment are symptoms of weakness in their dielectric withstand, whose evolution can cause serious consequences for the equipment. The PDs can be detected by measuring quantities associated with current pulses, radio frequency signals (electromagnetic waves), acoustic signals, among others. Among these methods the detection of electromagnetic waves radiated by PDs are proving to be a reliable technique to follow the default process of evolution. In comparison with other techniques such as the detection method based on capacitive couplers (conventional method), the use of electromagnetic broadband sensors is not invasive to isolation. In this way, this paper aims to show the evaluation of three different electromagnetic sensors of Ultra High Frequency (UHF) designed to be installed in hydrogenerators. The sensors used in the experiments are: microstrip directional coupler, loop antenna and log-periodic antenna. The sensors were evaluated by high-voltage tests to measure partial discharges which were evaluated all kids of discharges found in hydrogenerators, like internal discharges, delaminations, slot discharge, bar-bar and surface discharges, and through the accelarated aging test. The results obtained in the laboratory demonstrated that the directional coupler showed a high sensibility to all types os simulated discharges which results were validated by log-periodic antenna, and the loop antenna showed a low sensibility. The results also demonstrated that is possible to identify discharges through the UHF characteristics. The evolution of the PDs levels were evaluated through the directional coupler during the accelarated aging test, it was possible to observe the appearance of two types of discharges, delaminations and corona, the results were similar to those measured by the capacitive coupler.

This paper aims at analyzing experimental techniques for partial discharges measuring in the stator windings of hydrogenerators. To reach the goal, first proposed a study of the literature on how the structure of the stator windings, with an emphasis on electrical insulation, as well as the concepts of partial discharges and techniques used for measuring in hydrogenerators. It was then mounted in a laboratory arrangement for studying techniques for measuring partial discharges in the stator winding using six different couplers, four conventional capacitive couplers 80, 220, 500 and 1000 pF, and two experimental systems, an antenna, ribbon coaxial cable and RG 58, bare used with the antenna function. The evaluation of the sensitivity of these six systems has been divided in two steps: first were analyzed the responses of couplers applying a known calibration signal, and then analyzed the response of the same high voltage during testing. For application of a known signal calibration the capacitive couplers showed greater sensitivity than antenna and coaxial cable. Already during the response tests showed that the High Voltage sensitivity of the antenna tape is larger than the conventional method of measuring partial discharges in hydro using capacitive couplers 80 and 220 pF. The results obtained in the laboratory showed that the measurement of partial discharges through the antenna tape can be performed satisfactorily in the evaluation of the operating condition of the stator windings of hydro, without either significant loss of sensitivity information or the quantification of the phenomenon.
