The high voltage equipment and high voltage installation owners have come to terms with the need for conditions monitoring the^process of PD in the equipments such as power transformers, gas insulated substations （GIS）, and cable installations. This paper reviews the available PD detection methods （involving high voltage equipment） such as electrical detection, chemical detection, acoustic detection, and optical detection.
