Abstract

The present paper reviews some of the challenges involved in designing and building an experimental setup for measurement of partial discharge under combined AC and DC voltage. A design of a modular test cell is discussed, as well as all parameters relevant to proper control of the experiment conditions. The described experimental setup is capable of producing sinusoidal AC voltage at a variable frequency up to 5 kHz superimposed a high DC voltage. The challenges related to intermittent noise reduction was remedied by placing the setup in a Faraday cage and controlling the setup from the outside by optical cables. All equipment in the test setup was connected to the power grid through low-pass filters.
