  "content": "<p>Hey everyone. Late to the party here, so I'm trying to get up to speed. To better understand what we're looking for I plotted out a few signals from the training set that are marked as having partial discharge signatures. They are signals 228, 229, and 230. I've noticed that many of the PD detections come in triplets of corresponding phase differences, but not all. Knowing that, I'm confused as to why signals 228, and 229 are marked as showing PD. Sig230 seems to show the pattern pointed out in the posted example, while the other two seem to only show transient effects. Am I missing something here?</p>\n\n<p>Thanks for the clarification,</p>\n\n<p>Ben</p>",

The remaining two are fine. Single phase faults are very common in power systems, rather all the three phases (or multiple phases) being affected simultaneously is much rarer. I am guessing that out of the three phases, if any phase shows signs of a partial discharge, all the three phases seem to be labeled as a PD class, ie, class 1. </p>",
