How Is It Done?” It provides a comprehensive explanation of apparent charge measurement in partial discharge (PD) testing in accordance with IEC 60270. The article outlines the theoretical basis of PD, the challenges of accurate charge quantification, and the practical implications of quasi-integration and calibration. It also discusses the influence of test object size and distributed impedance on measurement accuracy. This detailed study may be of significant interest to engineers working in high-voltage insulation diagnostics and condition monitoring of electrical assets.","PeriodicalId":444,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine","volume":"41 4","pages":"4-4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11039238","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144308429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CEIDP was established within the Division of Engineering and Industrial Research, National Academy of Sciences – National Research Council in 1920 in nearby Manhattan, NY, and continues to provide opportunity for specialists from around the world to meet and exchange their expertise, annually, now under sponsorship from the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society. The goal of this annual Conference is to bring together researchers in all disciplines from industry, universities, government, and other laboratories to discuss the latest results and developments in the area of electrical insulation and dielectric phenomena. The CEIDP is aimed at fostering free discussion of scientific and technical topics but conference participants are expected to avoid any commercialization of their research activities or research results.","PeriodicalId":444,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine","volume":"41 4","pages":"55-55"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11039225","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144308281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
