Method and apparatus for analyzing partial discharges in electrical devices

摘要

A method of analyzing partial discharge data collected from an electrical device includes collecting partial discharge data from a first electrical device belonging to a group of electrical devices. The group of electrical devices is at least partially defined by at least one electrical device classification. The method also includes generating a comparison of at least a portion of the partial discharge data collected from the first electrical device with at least a portion of the partial discharge data collected from at least one second electrical device. The at least one second electrical device is selected from the group of electrical devices that includes the first electrical device. The method further includes transmitting the results.
