What is a partial discharge?

Partial discharge (PD) is a type of electrical breakdown that occurs when only part of the insulation between two conductors is damaged. This results in localized increase in electrical current, which can cause damage to the surrounding insulation. Partial discharge can occur in any type of electrical equipment but is most commonly found in high-voltage […]
