Guidelines for partial discharge detection using conventional (IEC 60270) and unconventional methods

This Technical Brochure presents the state-of-the art in the field of partial discharge measurements with conventional (IEC 60270) and unconventional methods. The guide gives recommendations for effective application of unconventional methods for PD testing of high voltage gas insulated substations, power cables, and power transformers with ‘best practice' solutions being discussed and explained with actual on-site PD measurement cases. The advantages and disadvantages of the discussed PD detection methods are shown.
