Introduction to Partial Discharge Measurements
- Instructor: Matthew Sze
- Panelist: Mathieu Lachance
This session will introduce the basic theory of partial discharge measurements. We will discuss the measurement setup according to IEC60270, calibration process, charge calculation and explain how to interpret the common phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD) diagram.
May 10th
PD Measurements on Distribution Switchgear
- Instructor: Mathieu Lachance
- Panelist: Matthew Sze
This session will discuss the different partial discharge measurement techniques applicable for metal-clad and metal-enclosed distribution switchgear. Relevant standards offline and online PD measurement techniques will also be addressed. Case studies will be reviewed to show the efficiency and sensitivity of different PD techniques.
June 14th
PD Measurements on Rotating Machines
- Instructor: Mathieu Lachance
- Panelist: Matthew Sze
In this session, we will discuss the theory of partial discharge measurements on rotating machines and focus on measurement circuits, test procedures, and basic information on PD propagation. Case studies will be reviewed to show how to perform an assessment.
