The requirements for calibrators as well as the calibration procedures are given in IEC 60270:2000. Calibrators
of type CAL 542 (see Fig. 1) are used for the calibration of a partial discharge (PD) measuring system in the
complete test circuit. The repetitive calibration charges Q0 are generated by a step voltage pulse U0 injected into
a capacitor C0.
The appropriate choice of a calibrator depends on the range of typical charge values of the partial discharges
being measured. There are four calibrators with different ranges of charge pulses available (see Table 1).
