Abstract

An attempt was made discriminate between discharge sources by studying the time behavior of discharge quantities. By means of computer-aided registration, the maximum discharge magnitude, the number of discharges, and the inception voltage as a function of time were processed for the positive and the negative half of the voltage cycle. Tests with models of different discharge sources have shown that the temporal behaviour of these quantities contains valuable information. Characteristic responses, such as strong fluctuation with treeing or with discharges in liquids, increasing or decreasing response with cavity discharges, and the differences in behavior in the positive and the negative half of the voltage cycle of electrode-bounded cavities, were studied. These characteristics are correlated with conditions in the discharge site or changes in the defects under the influence of discharges
