Experimental Study of Distribution of Partial Discharges in Insulation Impregnated a t Different Temperatures

In the present work we are particularly interested in the effects of low temperature on partial discharges in all film capacitors models plan/plan made of impregnated polypropylene (pp) and fed with a high alternating voltage. The experimental study has confirmed the existence of two regimes of discharges with a second regime conduct to the breakdown of the capacitor. These regimes are characterized by a difference in the number of discharges and a different distribution of the apparent charge.
