Classification of Single and Mixed Partial Discharges under Switching Voltage Using an AWA-CNN Framework

arXiv:2605.21352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The growing use of fast-switching power electronics has made partial discharge (PD) analysis under switching-voltage excitation increasingly important, yet more challenging than under sinusoidal conditions due to activity concentrated at voltage transitions. This work presents an Amplitude-Width-Area (AWA) pattern representation for source-oriented PD analysis under switching-voltage excitation. In the proposed method, time domain PD pulses are characterized using pulse amplitude, width, and area, and mapped into a visual pattern where amplitude
