PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETERMINATION METHOD, PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETERMINATION APPARATUS, AND PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETERMINATION SYSTEM FOR POWER DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING POWER DEVICE INCLUDING THE PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETERMINATION METHOD

摘要

A partial discharge determination method and apparatus, and a partial discharge determination system capable of indicating how much margin is left before dielectric breakdown, in a lighting impulse withstand voltage test, and a power device for which whether partial discharge is caused is determined by them, and a method for manufacturing a power device including the partial discharge determination method. A low-pass filter receives an acoustic signal resulting from application of an impulse voltage and acquired by an acoustic emission sensor, and removes an electromagnetic noise superimposed on the acoustic signal. A mechanical oscillation removal unit removes a mechanical oscillation component of a device under test, from the acoustic signal resulting from application of the impulse voltage which is a high voltage, based on the mechanical oscillation component acquired in advance and included in the acoustic signal resulting from application of the impulse voltage which is a low voltage.
