In this study, the applicability of SOM(Self Organizing Map) algorithm to partial discharge pattern recognition have been investigated. For the purpose, using acquired data from the artificial defects in GIS, SOM algorithm which has some advantages such as data accumulation ability and the degradation trend trace ability was compared with conventionally used BP(Back Propagation) algorithm. As a result, basically BP algorithm was found out to be better than SOM algorithm. Therefore, it is needed to apply SOM algorithm in combination with BP algorithm in order to improve on-site applicability using the advantages of SOM. Also, for the pattern recognition by use of PRPDA(Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Analysis) it is required the normalization of the PRPDA graph. However, in case of the normalization both BP and SOM algorithm have shown worse results, so that it is required further study to solve the problem.
