Device for detecting partial discharge in power equipment using radiated electromagnetic wave

摘要

Disclosed is a device for detecting a partial discharge of power equipment. EM (electromagnetic wave) sensors detect EM signals from a partial discharge in a metal clad switchgear, a power cable, and a GIS. EM detectors amplify the signals from the sensors, and output only noise-removed IF signals. A pulse generator integrates the IF-processed EM to compare the integrated value with a previous value, and outputs a pulse according to a partial discharge. An EM level processor compares the IF-processed EM with reference voltages to output EM pulses of a plurality of levels. A waveform shaper shapes the pulses. A controller calculates the average number of pulses per 1 cycle by counting the partial discharge pulses for a predetermined time, receives the waveform-shaped pulses to calculate the partial discharge amount, and transmits the calculated amount, combined with the average number, to an external monitoring system.
