New low pressure partial discharge and electrical fatigue capability

Martin Wickham, Dhaval Vankhade and Meenakshy Ramankutty  

Ensuring long-term reliability in high-voltage systems requires a deep understanding of how environmental stressors impact insulation and material performance. This webinar explores cutting-edge research and testing methodologies designed to address these challenges. Our experts will examine how low-pressure environments influence partial discharge (PD) inception and contribute to electrical fatigue, providing critical insights for aerospace and other harsh-condition applications. Attendees will learn about the capabilities of a new multi-channel system engineered for accelerated ageing tests, enabling faster and more comprehensive reliability assessments. Additionally, we will share findings on material and coating performance under extreme conditions and outline plans for advanced testing strategies and design improvements aimed at enhancing high-voltage system durability. 

Join us to discover how these innovations are shaping the future of electrical reliability in demanding environments.
