IEEE Guide for the Detection, Location and Interpretation of Sources of Acoustic Emissions from Electrical Discharges in Power Transformers and Power Reactors

The detection and location of acoustic emissions (AEs) from partial discharges (PDs) and other sources in liquid-insulated power transformers and reactors are covered in this guide. A means of associating the relative magnitude and position of PDs and other sources with the acoustic signals obtained by strategically located transducers is provided.
