<p>Electromagnetic waves generated by partial discharge occurring when gas-insulated apparatus fails are detected by using a compact, wide band and high sensitivity antenna. Electromagnetic waves produced by partial discharge are detected over a wide range with a high sensitivity by a circular antenna receiver (4) which comprises a pair of semi-circular discs combined on a plane inside the metal vessel (3) of the gas-insulated apparatus. The detected signal is measured by a measuring instrument (10) through a coaxial enclosed terminal (7) and a coaxial cable (8). Since the area of the semi-circular antenna unit is large, the capacitance between the antenna unit and a potential measuring unit can be large, so that the high sensitivity potential measurement can be also performed.</p> |
