Abstract :
A variety of definitions related to partial discharge (PD) phenomena are discussed. There is no general agreement at this time of writing as to the definitions of the various regimes of PD. A certain confusion exists which may be due to the multitude of PD manifestations. An attempt is made to elucidate some aspects of the PD definitions. Related problems needing more work are noted
