This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the rise time characteristics of partial discharges (PD) in cable insulation through experimental measurements. Partial discharges are a critical phenomenon in high-voltage systems, serving as an early indicator of insulation degradation. Understanding the rise time of partial discharges is essential for assessing the severity of insulation defects and ensuring the reliability of power cable systems. The experimental setup involved controlled conditions to induce partial discharges in cable samples, allowing for precise measurement and analysis of the rise time. The study explores the correlation between rise time and different factors such as cable design, insulation material, and defect type. Results indicate that the rise time of partial discharges exhibits distinct patterns based on these factors, providing valuable insights into the nature of insulation defects. The findings contribute to the development of effective diagnostic tools for condition monitoring in power cable systems, ultimately enhancing the reliability and safety of electrical infrastructure.
