High-voltage and partial discharge testing techniques for space power systems

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.<<ETX>>
