Analysis of properties of chosen acoustic emission descriptors describing acoustic signals measured by means of acoustic emission method within oil transformers

Authors of the paper present investigation results concerning properties of ADP, ADC and ADNC descriptors which have been obtained during measurements made within three oil transformers and then tested also by other methods (electric and dissolved gas analysis ones). Methodology which makes easier an analysis and identification of acoustic emission signals generated by partial discharges is presented. Results obtained by acoustic emission method have been referred to results coming from other measuring methods.
