(Ans: 0.00064, 0.000064)
The void is filled with a gas that will breakdown at an electric field strength
of 65 kV/cm, and when a partial discharge occurs, the voltage across the
void falls to zero.
Determine;

d) the amplitude of the voltage pulse produced across the sample by a
partial discharge.
e) the apparent discharge magnitude.

where Eg is the stress on the void and Ed is the stress in the solid
dielectric.
11) The circuit diagram for the Schering bridge is shown in Figure Q11. Both
ends of the sample and the standard capacitor are connected to the high
voltage side of the bridge. A standard capacitor used in the circuit has
losses and can be represented as a capacitance (C2) and resistance (r2) in
series.

of the standard capacitor added with the loss tangent as measured for
a loss-free standard capacitor.
