This paper presents the preliminary results of the performed experiment, based on common phenomenon of partial discharges. A simple Geiger-Muller counter (DP-66M) was used for measurement of a dose of ionizing radiation, which is accompanied by partial discharges. Values from which the radiation intensity was dependent could be controlled individually: the distance between measurer and source, as well as the voltage generating partial discharges. The obtained results indicate that in the examined phenomenon, significant dose of X-ray radiation is present. According to the Kramers-Kulenkampff theory, it depends also on the atomic number of elements involved. Using MATLAB software, the obtained data were compiled to develop suitable theory for further research study. There was also implemented fuzzification for the fuzzy logic, and the effect was the capability of forecasting radiation doses according to the fixed variables for a given material, where partial discharges were generated.
