the measure of the variation of the winding turn-to-turn capacitance and the Partial
Discharge Inception Voltage (PDIV). The test methods is defined and described. Twisted
pairs of three different diameters of enameled wires were tested. The PDIV is measured with
an adequate system properly calibrated to minimize background noise to an acceptable
value. Finally, it is shown an increased capacitance and a reduction PDIV between aging …
