Data record `gloss.pd-inception-and-extinction-voltage.definition`

Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

The partial discharge inception voltage is the lowest applied voltage at which partial discharges of a specified magnitude first appear as the voltage is raised gradually, and the extinction voltage is the voltage at which they cease as the voltage is then lowered. The extinction voltage is normally the lower of the two, because discharges once started persist below the voltage needed to start them.
