PARTIAL DISCHARGE
Partial discharges are small electrical sparks that occur within the electric insulation of switchgear, cables, transformers, and windings in large motors and generators. Partial Discharge Analysis is a proactive diagnostic approach that uses Partial Discharge (PD) measurements to evaluate the integrity of this equipment. Partial discharge testing results can help predict future performance and reliability of critical assets, including:
- Cables, splices, and terminations
- Power transformers and bushings
- Switchgear
- Motors and generators
