The Measurement of Partial Discharge to Diagnose Defects in High-Voltage Insulating Materials

고전압 절연재료의 결함진단을 위한 부분방전측정

According to request of insulating materials for high-voltage, recently we make effort not only to develop diagnostic skills of aging state but also to discover defects in insulating material in the early. Especially, partial discharge has been actively studied as a non-destructive diagnosis technique and very useful method. Because the method of partial discharge measurement has damages less than other conventional diagnosis technique. In this paper, the characteristics of partial discharge was investigated and studied on many samples with voids. In order to adapt as a practical diagnosis technique, it is studied on the characteristics of partial discharge and insulation breakdown in the high voltage. We suggest that partial discharge measurement can be used in order to diagnose defects in high-voltage insulation materials.
