Abstract
Partial discharge (PD) detection techniques are reviewed, focusing on application in the aerospace industry. The discussion covers dielectric withstand voltage test, causes of high-voltage failures in flight hardware systems and how PD testing can detect incipient problems, and high-frequency PD test methods and applications.<>
