PD pulse typical frequency content

“Slow” pulses “Middle-fast” pulses “Fast” pulses

Duration >1us Duration <1us Duration <100 ns

Spectrum <20 MHz Spectrum <40 MHz Spectrum <80 MHz

Typically surface PD Typically corona PD Typically internal PD

Corona (laboratory)
Corona in HV termination
Surface in air termination

Low frequency content; the shape of the pattern


resembles the one of the 50Hz sine.
In this case the PDs are probably due to humidity or
dust on the outdoor termination.

Each cluster includes all pulses having similar joint
waveform characteristics: PD pulses with similar
waveforms are supposed to come from the same
source (defect). Therefore, different clouds
mean different phenomena.
Corona and surface

Corona on terminations (120° phase shift) and surface


on HV.
The corona looks like a floating mass; this particular
shape is due to rain, snow or dirty.
