PC37.301 - Standard for High-Voltage Switchgear (Above 1000 V) Test Techniques--Partial Discharge Measurements

Project Details

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.
