“…Since PD cannot be measured directly, it can be measured through its energy products like electrical passers, chemical changes, electromagnetic diffusion, vibration, sound, light and heat. In general, in order to prevent insulation breakdown in electrical devices, one of the followings must be done - (i) Measuring, repairing or replacing elements in which electrical breakdown has occurred (considering the lifetime of devices).
- (ii) Continuous monitoring of insulation of expensive devices such as power machines, HV cables, and electrical panels before the occurrence of any damaging failure [12–14 ].
PD should be investigated in devices to determine the exhaustion and failure of electrical insulation; therefore, PD location helps the maintenance and reduces the occurrence of significant events [15, 16 ].…”
