Partial discharges (PD) are widely known to occur in medium- and high-voltage applications. Recently, it has been observed that owing to the use of modern variable frequency converters, an environment that contributes to partial discharges is also found in low-voltage motors. Low-voltage machines are vulnerable to partial discharges because their winding insulation is not designed to withstand the...
