  • Abstract
    This paper investigates the use of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) models in the study of electrical discharges, particularly through the measurement of radiated signals. Support for electrostatic fields within the model is demonstrated. Signals radiated by a partial discharge pulse are simulated and found to be in good agreement with experiment. Improvements required to create more sophisticated models are identified
