Evaluation of the state of the insulation system of a stator winding of high-voltage electric machines based on measurements of statistical characteristics of partial discharges

The statistical characteristics of amplitude and amplitude-phase spectra of PDs in the insulation of model specimens with artificial flaws in a semiconducting coating are investigated. The algorithm for distinguishing the flaws in the stator winding insulation of high-voltage electrical machines based on statistical parameters of the PD spectra is developed and practically implemented.
