Abstract :
A new system aimed at performing partial discharge measurements and condition assessment on electrical apparatus is presented. It is able to separate the conventional phase resolved partial discharge pattern into a series of sub-patterns, each of them containing partial discharge data generated by a single kind of defect, which makes easier identification of the source generating partial discharges. Application of the system to partial discharge data recorded on an hydrogenerator is reported to support its effectiveness.
