What Is Partial Discharge (PD)
 

Partial discharge denotes non‑through discharge induced by local electric‑field distortion arising from insulation defects in high‑voltage equipment, including voids, cracks, metallic burrs, moisture ingress and surface contamination. Such discharge does not give rise to complete insulation breakdown, and the equipment may remain in short‑term service. It constitutes a typical symptom of latent insulation defects.

Hazards of Partial Discharge

Although the energy of individual discharge pulses is low and will not trigger immediate equipment failure, cumulative degradation of insulation occurs persistently:

1. High‑temperature effects and charged particles generated by discharge impinge directly on insulating media and cause material carbonization.
2. Ozone and nitrogen oxides formed via ionization exert chemical corrosion on insulation and propagate defect expansion.
3. Progressive deterioration of defects converts partial discharge into through‑going breakdown, further bringing about equipment flashover and short‑circuit faults, which may lead to power outages or even catastrophic equipment failure.

Partial discharge serves as the principal precursor to high‑voltage insulation failures.

 

Core Advantages of Partial Discharge(PD) Testing

 

Non‑destructive Live‑line Inspection

No damage to power assets. Support live equipment checking without power cut, widely used for substation daily inspection.

Early Warning of Hidden Faults

Catch invisible insulation defects long before breakdown occurs, avoid unexpected power‑off accidents.

Reduce Operation & Maintenance Cost

Realize predictive maintenance instead of blind overhaul, cut unnecessary spare‑parts and downtime loss.

Multi‑method Detection Solution

Ultrasonic, UHF, TEV, HFCT multi‑sensor options, adapt to different HV equipment and complex interference environment.
