A study of partial discharge measurements in dielectric liquids

An investigation was undertaken to study the partial discharge behavior of some well-defined dielectric fluids such as phenyl xylene ethane, ditolyl ether, mono and dibenzyl toluene and perfluoro polyether. The partial discharge inception and extinction voltages of these fluids were determined under uniform and nonuniform field conditions. The results of this study are presented and their significance is discusses in detail.<
