Detection of high-energy ionizing radiation generated by electrical discharges in oil

The article presents the results of multi-variant studies of high-energy ionizing radiation emitted by electrical discharges occurring in oil insulating systems. The studies were conducted under laboratory conditions using a specially designed and built testing station. The ionizing radiation was registered using a measuring device of original construction. Electrical discharges were simulated in a point-point modeling system, which was immersed in insulating oil. Example results of the analysis and their interpretation are presented in the paper. Finally, a possible explanation of the considered phenomenon is given.
