In particular, the PD inception voltage, which is a very important parameter for the judgement of the PD characteristic of a transformer over the temperature range, is considered. The PD inception voltage is determined at different static temperatures in step tests. The tempering of the coils occurs from the outside by submerging the oil in tempered fluid,as well as from the inside, with the help of current losses. Models of HV coils of distribution transformers are used as specimens. The dependencies between the PD inception voltage of the coils and parameters such as wire insulation and inner or outer tempering are determined and discussed. The results of long-term tests in which five coils are stressed with a voltage of 1.75 kV at a temperature of 175 degrees C for a duration of one year are presented.

They show that the PDIV is a reasonably reproducible quantity. Independently, using electrooptical techniques, the streamer inception voltages (SIVs) in these liquids have been measured. These SIV values are found to be reproducible, within experimental error. Both techniques yield similar inception values. These results suggest that the PD and streamer phenomena are closely related. It is shown that the PDIV is independent of the gap and hence the average electric field. The SIV is found to be independent of the applied voltage. These observations suggest that the inception of both phenomena is controlled by the local rather than the average applied field.

The calculations indicate that, with overvolted short gaps, the apparent absence of the protracted ion current tail in the overall pulse form is due to the large excess of the electron current component generated by strongly enhanced cathode emission by the photoeffect and other phenomena. Under conditions of high overvoltage the ion-impact-induced emission, the ion fluxes and, consequently, the ion current component are greatly reduced as compared to the electron current. The long ion current tail, representing not more than a few percent of the total current, passes undetected. Pulseless and pseudo-glow discharges are considered.
