Hi everyone. I am looking to upgrade my knowledge in partial discharge testing. Currently, I can perform PD testing using Liona On-Line PD and b2 Off-Line VLF PD. Honestly, I can only operate the test equipment and perform data gathering. However, I cannot interpret the data, graphs, waveforms etc. I am totally lost and confused when looking at the results. I tried looking into the standards such as IEEE 400.3 and IEC 60270 but it just added more confusion since I lack some fundamentals.

That being said, can anyone suggest some readings, references, resources, or crash course in PD testing?

Thanks!
