Abstract :
A Monte-Carlo simulation of AC-generated partial-discharge (PD) pulses is described which can properly account for effects of phase-to-phase memory propagation. The results of the simulation have been tested by determination of various unconditional and conditional pulse amplitude phase-of-occurrence, and integrated charge distributions. The stochastic behavior of the simulated pulses is shown to be similar to that found experimentally for AC-generated PD in point-to-dielectric discharge gaps
