Figure 1: showing the pulse characteristics of a partial discharge, with the void capacitance rapidly releasing charge before the electric field collapses locally, and a fast current spike flows
Partial discharge in high-voltage distribution equipmentcan be used as an early warning indicator of insulation degradation and eventual failure, and without detection, can evolve into complete dielectric breakdown, arc faults, and potentially explosive equipment failure.
