Abstract
A gas-insulated apparatus is equipped inside with multiple sensors for sensing a partial discharge signal caused by a foreign substance, and a frequency analyzing section for analyzing the frequency of the sensed partial discharge signal. A defect type judging section estimates the defect type of the foreign substance from the signal obtained through the frequency analysis or from the voltage phase distribution of partial discharge synchronized with the frequency of the voltage applied to the gas-insulated apparatus, and a location determining section estimates the defect location and signal intensity from the multiple partial discharge signals. A defect size calculating section estimates the defect size for each defect type from the signal intensity and field distribution at the defect location. Dielectric breakdown risk evaluation is performed based on the defect size and type, and the insulation failure risk is diagnosed from the partial discharge.
