Data Collection Protocol for Partial Discharges in High-Voltage Transformers

The detection of partial discharges (PDs) is essential for ensuring the reliability and longevity of high-voltage transformers. This paper focuses on the experimental setup and data collection. We designed a custom test cell to simulate various PD conditions and collected a comprehensive dataset using multiple electrode configurations, inter-electrode distances, and insulating materials. This paper details the experimental protocol, measurement equipment, and adjustments used to ensure high-quality data collection, forming the foundation for subsequent AI model development.
