This paper proposes an integral equation to describe the stochastic fluctuation of partial discharge (PD) occurrence under sinusoidal voltage stress based on a simple PD model. In the model, the stochastic behavior of PD fluctuation is assumed to arise from the fluctuation of the PD delay time after the inception voltage is built up across a discharge gap. For simplicity of calculation, the delay time is assumed to have an exponential distribution. Based on these assumptions, it is found that the proposed integral equation provides the basic characteristics such as the PD pulse distribution in the applied voltage phase angle domain. The authors have solved the equation numerically and demonstrate several ϕ– n distribution patterns with average delay times of 0.05 to 5 ms at low applied voltage. The solution is compared with PD characteristics obtained by Monte Carlo simulation based on the same PD model, and good agreement is found. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 136(1): 16–28, 2001
