Abstract :
In this paper, partial discharge (PD) measurements on industrial power capacitors have been carried out. Results of some physical parameters are presented after different accelerated aging times and during transient overvoltage tests on all-film power capacitors, with high capacitance values. Many observations emerge from the PD measurements and some parameters may indicate dielectric capacitor states
