Electrical insulation is the cornerstone of high voltage system reliability, serving to impede undesirable current flow and thereby prevent catastrophic failures. Integral to the performance of ...

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...

Any electrical professional or technician who performs tests on electrical equipment in the various applications and settings found in the industry must continually adjust to advancing technology and ...

Partial discharge (PD) measurement has been used for several decades to assess the condition of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) electrical apparatus. In the past, the application was mostly ...
