High Voltage Surge and Partial Discharge Tests to Evaluate Equipment Components

Abstract

Airborne power supplies and equipment which supply megawatts of power at tens of kilovolts require designs of minimum weight and volume which imply compact systems with high density packaging. This is especially a concern of high voltage electrical components. This paper describes high voltage tests, test parameters, and the test results for capacitors, cables, and magnetic devices. In addition, the value of dielectric withstanding voltage tests compared to surge tests and partial discharge tests is discussed.
