Partial Discharge Detection for Evaluation of Insulation Integrity in Aerospace Electric Power System Wiring and Components

Abstract

The paper describes the importance of partial discharge (PD) detection for aerospace electric power system wiring and components in low pressure environment. The relationships between recorded discharge pulse current waveforms and PD electrical characteristics are explained and discussed. Features of a new PD analyzer for low pressure applications are reviewed.
