The present invention is a partial discharge detection device for use in gas-insulated equipment, in which a high voltage conductor is supported by an insulator inside a hermetically sealed and gas filled metal container. The invention provides a high-performance partial discharge detection device which is user-friendly and compact and which allows detection of the electromagnetic waves caused by partial discharge, over a wide bandwidth with a simple constitution and a favorable signal to noise (S/N) ratio. The waveguide antenna which receives electromagnetic waves that leak from the insulating spacer is attached to the outer circumferential face of the insulating spacer. The waveguide antenna is constituted by a waveguide portion and a coaxial cable connector which is installed on the waveguide portion. The waveguide portion has a metal short-circuit plate provided at one end thereof, and an opening formed at the other end thereof, which covers part of the outer circumferential face of the insulating spacer. |
