What is Partial Discharge?
Fig.1 is a general partial discharge occurrence model, and showing an insulation sandwiched by electrodes. In the insulation, there are voids (impurities).
Dielectric constant of the voids is usually lower than that in the surrounding dielectric. Therefore when AC voltage is applied to the insulation, voltage in the voids becomes larger, and as a result, the voids short itself out, while the insulations is not shorted.
The short circuit in the voids leads to small charge-transfers, and this is called partial discharge.
Why is Partial Discharge Test Important?
Even with a stringent manufacturing process, it is not always possible to manufacture solid insulations without creating voids (impurities).
Generally, the void in solid insulation is filled with a gas, and it has lower breakdown strength than the main material. In addition, the permittivity of the void is invariably lower than that of main insulation, and electric field tends to concentrate on the void. Thus, even under normal working stress, the voltage across the void may exceed the breakdown value and partial discharge occurs.
When partial discharge begins and repeats, it can damage the materials and may lead to failure of the whole high voltage power equipment. To secure safety of electrical appliances, quality of insulations must be regarded as the most important matter.
Partial discharge measurements are desirable test to find insulation defects and early failures in insulation materials. Periodic diagnosis enhances safety of electrical appliances, and can help to find symptoms before becoming a failure.
