Partial Discharge (PD) is one of the causes of insulation deteriorisation mode and impacts on the reliability of high voltage equipment. Therefore, PD measurement is used for diagnostic technique of high voltage equipment. Diagnostic output of high voltage equipment contain information about PD type, PD cause, PD location and PD severity. after identification, a proper preventive maintenance pattern can be performed. Therefore PD pattern recognition system is very important on PD diagnostic system to recognize the PD pattern and determine the level of hazard that occurs in specimen object or high voltage equipment‥ In this paper, PD pattern recognition system is designed with fractal geometry approach and support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The coding and programming of graphical user interface of the application is done. Each PD type and hazard level on various insulating materials (solid, liquid and gas) have the dimensions of the fractal and the lacunarity. The type of PD (void, corona) and its danger level (bad, fair and good) can be identified with the support vector machine (SVM)
