Comparison of partial discharge (PD) calibrators from 0.1 pC to 10 nC
Main text High-voltage partial discharge (PD) tests require calibration of PD measurement systems using PD calibrators which provide known values of the apparent charge. A set of travelling reference calibrators was circulated among 14 participating laboratories and each laboratory reported apparent change and rise time measured using their own procedures. Comparison reference values (CRV) were calculated for each nominal charge level and calibrator and reasonable agreement of apparent charge calibration was reached. However, agreement of rise time measurements was unexpectedly poor. The scatter in reported rise time values is not due to the instability of the travelling reference and is largely dependent on the implemented methodology. Due to the large range of variables possibly influencing reported results for rise time, the CRV for rise time is omitted. To reach the main text of this paper, click on Final Report .
