ZVEI Guideline Partial Discharge Measurements
PD measurements on capacitors are intended to detect potential defects in the insulation in order to prevent future failures, as partial discharges may weaken the insulation to the housing and within the dielectric.
The procedures for PD measurements are described in various IEC standards. However, especially with regard to the testing of capacitors, there may be limitations and misinterpretations regarding the informative value of such tests. This common guideline by the capacitor manufacturers organized in the ZVEI intends to prevent such misunderstandings.
