Partial Discharge Detection and Localization in High Voltage Transformers Using an Optical Acoustic Sensor

A partial discharge (PD) is the dissipation of energy caused by the buildup of localized electric field intensity. In high voltage devices such as transformers, this buildup of charge and its release can be symptomatic of problems associated with aging, such as floating components and insulation br...
