This part of IEC 60885 specifies the test methods for partial discharge (PD) measurements on lengths of extruded power cable, but does not include measurements made on installed cable systems.
Reference is made to IEC 60270 which gives the techniques and considerations applicable to partial discharge measurements in general.
