This recommended practice describes the test procedure for the detection and measurement by the wideband apparent charge method of partial discharges (PDs) occurring in liquid-filled power transformers and shunt reactors during dielectric tests, where applicable. PD measurements in transformers and shunt reactors should preferably be made on the basis of measurement of the apparent charge. Relevant measuring systems are classified as narrowband or wideband systems. Both systems are recognized and widely used. Without giving preference to one or the other, it is the object of this document to describe the wideband method. General principles of PD measurements, including the narrowband method, are covered in IEC 60270-2015 and IEC 60076-3-2013 [B72]. Revision Standard - Active. Wideband measurement of the apparent charge of partial discharges (PDs) that may occur in liquid-filled power transformers and shunt reactors excited by ac test voltages between 40 Hz and 400 Hz are discussed. The major components of the PD measuring circuit including the calibrator are specified in compliance with IEC 60270. The PD test procedure is described and recommendations for the evaluation of PD test results are presented.
