Some possible new applications of a Partial-Discharge (PD) model and its relation to PD-detection sensitivity

Abstract

In this paper some possibilities of further applications of a known Streamer Partial-Discharge Model are proposed. These possibilities refer to the relation between the observed partial-discharge (PD) magnitude and the applied field to the insulation. Furthermore, the model is a useful tool to investigate the sensitivity of a PD detector and also to compare the sensitivities between various PD detectors.
