This CPD course will feature presentations by Prof. Dr.- Ing. Stefan Tenbohlen from the Institute of Power Transmission and High Voltage Technology at the University of Stuttgart in Germany. This course will deliver the theoretical background information necessary to develop a good understanding of the phenomena of partial discharge (PD) in high-voltage equipment, as well as current measurement techniques for partial discharge. Along with this, the course will look at the experience of industry using partial discharge for diagnostic and testing work. Using the high-voltage laboratory at the University of Queensland, there will be demonstrations of some key measurement techniques for partial discharge.
