This work investigates the effect of alternating current partial discharge (AC PD) byproducts on the dielectric frequency response (DFR) of oil-paper insulation comprising of a small cavity, in the frequency range of 1.0 mHz to 1.0 kHz. The investigations were done by utilizing experimental results in combination with a Finite Element Method (FEM) model. The results presented in this paper show that ageing by-products in the cavity (PD stressed volume) alone will not result into the change in DFR of oil-paper insulation. According to simulation results, the significant change in the DFR results is mainly caused by PD by-products (positive and negative charges, and electrons) which tend to conduct or diffuse into the bulk of oil-paper insulation. The change in a dissipation factor curve due to PD by-products was observed to occur mainly in the middle and low frequency regions. The results indicate that the dissipation factor curves in the middle and low frequency regions depend on the level of PD by-products in oil and paper, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
