Abstract

A partial discharge (PD) coupler includes at least one high voltage capacitor; potting material surrounding the capacitor; and a fuse physically and electrically connected in series to the capacitor. The capacitor and the fuse are capable of passing high frequency partial discharge with minimal attenuation. The PD coupler can have potting material surrounding both the capacitor and the fuse. The PD coupler can include a housing surrounding the capacitor, the potting material, and the fuse.
