Alternative methods of partial discharge measurements in power transformers - factory tests and diagnostics

Investigation of partial discharges is one of the most commonly used methods of controlling the quality of insulation in electric systems. In the case of power transformers, these measurements are performed based on well-known and established international standards. Detection of partial discharges at high frequencies is one of the most developed methods in recent years, because of its ease implementation and possibility of utilization in monitoring systems. It is more often perceived as an accompanying or even substitute for the electrical method during factory tests.
