IEEE Guide for Partial Discharge Measurement in Power Switchgear

Abstract

This guide defines methods of measuring partial discharges that may occur in energized power switchgear apparatus in flaws, voids, and interfaces of nonself-restoring insulation that may then result in dielectric failure of the switchgear. Guidance on instrumentation and calibration technique is also given. The following types of equipment are included: high-voltage fuses, high-voltage switches, high-voltage circuit breakers, reclosers and sectionalizers, and switchgear assemblies.<>
