Abstract
Investigation of partial discharge (PD) within the models representing winding insulation of low-power induction motors have been carried out. Apparent electric charge introduced by PD sources has been measured basing on the electric method, whereas the acoustic one has been used to determine properties of acoustic emission signals in the time, discrimination threshold and time-frequency domain. Acoustic emission descriptors (signified by acronyms ADC and ADP, constructed in discrimination threshold domain) distinguish and classify the models connected with different impregnation technologies of winding insulation.
