Mechanical defects and partial discharge (PD) defects can appear in the indoor switchgear of substations or distribution stations, making the switchgear a safety hazard.
A common method of discharging capacitor banks at substations is to use internal or external discharge resistors, but these can have slow discharge times if they only comply with the five or 10 min ratings. The …
