For applications requiring both AC withstand testing and partial discharge evaluation, a series resonant test system may be configured with compatible partial discharge measurement equipment.
The resonant source supplies the specified AC test voltage, while a suitable PD measurement arrangement monitors discharge activity under defined test conditions. Measurement performance depends on the complete setup, including the test object, coupling device, measurement instrument, grounding arrangement and background interference.
This solution is intended for high-voltage laboratories and manufacturers that require a more comprehensive insulation testing arrangement.
No. It may be optional or supplied as a separate instrument, depending on the package.
No. A test system cannot guarantee that the test object has no partial discharge. Measurement results depend on the equipment, setup and test object.
This must be specified for the proposed measurement setup and operating conditions. Avoid relying on a generic sensitivity figure.
A suitable integrated configuration may support both, subject to the test procedure and instrument compatibility.
Test-object type, voltage level, required test voltage, applicable standard, desired PD sensitivity and expected background noise conditions.
