Description / Abstract:
Foreword
This guide was written to provide electronics transformer engineers with a standard method for detecting and measuring corona (partial discharge) in electronics transformers. Since there is no simple definition or unit for corona, it is felt that a guide of this nature will be useful in establishing a common ground of understanding between transformer and systems design engineers and transformer manufacturers in the development of service and performance requirements.
