Partial discharge (PD) detection and classification are essential to ensure the reliability of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). However, conventional deep learning approaches require extensive labeled data, which are expensive and time-consuming to obtain. To address this challenge, we propose a novel semi-supervised learning (SSL) framework called CDMAD-SSL, which integrates class distribution mismatch-aware debiasing (CDMAD) into the SSL pipeline. By refining the pseudo-labels through classifier bias correction during both training and testing, the proposed method mitigates the class imbalance and distribution mismatch—two critical challenges that hinder practical PD monitoring. The experimental results demonstrate that CDMAD-SSL achieves an overall classification accuracy of 96.64%, outperforming benchmark SSL methods by up to 2.52%, while maintaining robust precision, recall, and F1 score across all fault types. Furthermore, the framework consistently improved the recognition of minority classes under skewed data distributions, thereby validating its effectiveness under realistic onsite conditions
