Abstract

Partial discharge (PD) experiments in argon and helium have been performed for 60 Hz AC energization, under pressures from 101.3 kPa (760 Torr) down to 0.27 kPa (2 Torr). The electrode arrangement was a twisted pair of insulated conductors taken from a standard aircraft wiring harness. The paper describes the physical PD test setup and electrical connections for AC energization. The results are presented in terms of PD current pulse waveforms and their analysis, reflecting the effects of pressure and voltage.
