We investigated the combined effect of temperature and humidity on partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) of magnet wires under repetitive surge-wave voltages. As the results, the PDIV increased as the temperature increased in the environment of uncontrolled humidity, which is peculiar under surge-wave voltage. On the other hand in the environment of controlled humidity, the PDIV decreased monotonically as the temperature increased. We found that the PDIV increase was attributed to the effect of the relative humidity decrease corresponding to the temperature increase. Furthermore, the PDIV was also influenced by the water amount in insulation film. The PDIV during the temperature increase was lower than that during the temperature decrease with the hysteresis. The lower PDIV at the higher water amount is due to the release of water into the air gap as well as the decrease in the first ionization energy of insulation film, leading to the increase in the generation probability of an initial electron.
