This international standard defines methods of measuring and interpretation of Partial Discharges (PD) that may occur in energized AC power switchgear (rated above 1000 V). The standard is structured around the 5 main processes of partial discharge measurement and assessment; 1- Generation, 2- Propagation, 3- Detection, 4- Interpretation, 5- Reporting. This document defines apparent charge based and non-charged based methodologies. Guidance is given for instrumentation and calibration techniques for off-line and on-line measurement.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
C37.301-2009
IEEE Standard for High-Voltage Switchgear (Above 1000 V) Test Techniques--Partial Discharge Measurements
This standard adopts IEC 60270:2000 and defines methods of measuring partial discharges that may occur in energized power switchgear apparatus, in flaws, voids, and interfaces of non-self restoring insulation that may lead to dielectric failure of the switchgear.
