Abstract
This paper deals with partial discharge (PD) measurement in gas insulated switchgear (GIS) using spiral antenna as UHF external sensor. PD detection in UHF band is effective because it detects electromagnetic (EM) wave induced by PD with high S/N ratio. External sensor was used to detect leaked EM wave signals from insulation spacer of GIS tank. The experiment was conducted in 66 kV GIS model with metal type spacer. There is insulation window in the spacer. PD was generated by some artificial defects in GIS and an external PD source. The leaked EM wave propagated through spacer aperture was measured using spiral type sensor without filter and amplifier. The peak to peak value (Vpp) and the transmission rate of electromagnetic wave signals were evaluated. The PD patterns were observed. The results showed that the PD was detected by the spiral antenna. PD pattern was unique for each defect. These results are considered to be useful for enhancement of database PD diagnosis.
