PD IEC/TS 62478:2016

This standard PD IEC/TS 62478:2016 High voltage test techniques. Measurement of partial discharges by electromagnetic and acoustic methods is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.080 Measurement of time, velocity, acceleration, angular velocity
• 19.080 Electrical and electronic testing
• 17.220.20 Measurement of electrical and magnetic quantities

This document is applicable to electromagnetic (HF/VHF/UHF) and acoustic measurements of PDs which occur in insulation of electrical apparatus.

This specification deals with a large variety of applications, sensors of different frequency ranges and differing sensitivities. The tasks of PD location and measuring system calibration or sensitivity check are also taken into account.
