description Partial discharge (PD) detection is an effective way to evaluate the insulation condition of electrical equipment in power systems. The non-intrusive TEV-detecting method which detects transient earth voltage (TEV) signals from the external surface of equipment does not require interruptions of electrical operations and is thus preferred by more and more researchers, engineers and users.
