The paper presents the comparative analysis results of the acoustic emission signals generated by various forms of partial discharges occurring in multisource systems. Modern methods of the signal digital processing: a short-time Fourier transform and continuous and discrete wavelet transforms were applied for the assessment of the results in the time-frequency domain. The acoustic emission signals generated by partial discharges were registered with a WD AH17 contact transducer by the Physical Acoustics Corporation placed on the external part of the tub.
