Abstract

Based on the standards IEC 60060-1 (High-voltage test techniques) and IEC 60270 (High-voltage test techniques - Partial discharge -PD-measurements) tests were carried out on high voltage industrial frequency and lightning impulse on glass fibre reinforced polyester -GFRP-pole samples, in order to determine PD and breakdown voltage; contrasting with the results obtained by insulation coordination determining the suitability of the insulating material; the data obtained was processed and analyzed using MATLAB software, digital filters and the fast Fourier transform (FFT).
