Partial Discharge Analysis for Transformer Insulation Testing

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using partial discharge analysis for testing transformer insulation, specifically between primary and secondary windings. The user describes a straightforward method for measuring insulation by shorting both windings and applying voltage. However, they seek guidance on testing turn-to-turn insulation using partial discharge analysis. The recommended resource for further information is the IEEE Std. 43-2000, which outlines best practices for insulation testing.

PREREQUISITES

TL;DR
I would like to know how to test turn to turn insulation.
I would like to test the insulation of a transformer using partial discharge analysis. Testing insulation between the primary and secondary is pretty straightforward. I short the primary as well as the secondary, apply voltage across the two, then take my measurements.

I also need to test the turn to turn insulation for the primary and the secondary using partial discharge analysis which I'm not sure how to do. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not an expert on that. But the first place I would look is this:
