Abstract

Two partial discharge (PD) measurement techniques, a contact measurement technique (similar to the IEC 60270 standard measurement) and a free-space radiation (FSR) measurement technique, are compared for the case of a floating electrode PD source. The discharge pulse shapes and PD characteristics under high voltage DC conditions are obtained. A comparison shows greater similarity between the two measurements than was expected. It is inferred that the dominant mechanism in shaping the spectrum is the band-limiting effect of the radiating structure rather than band limiting by the receiving antenna. The cumulative energies of PD pulses in both frequency and time domains are also considered.
