Unsupervised Monitoring System for Predictive Maintenance of High Voltage Apparatus

The online monitoring of a high voltage apparatus is a crucial aspect for a predictive maintenance program. Partial discharges (PDs) phenomena affect the insulation system of an electrical machine and—in the long term—can lead to a breakdown, with a consequent, significant econom...
