Patent Images
1. An apparatus for detecting the position of an internal fault of a gas insulated bus, comprising:
- electrodes provided in a tubular-shaped housing of said gas insulated bus, said electrodes positioned at arbitrary intervals from neighboring electrodes along the axial direction of said tubular-shaped housing, said electrodes for detecting a voltage induced within said housing by flashovers and corona discharge within said housing, wherein said electrodes are disc shaped and are mounted in respective cylindrical, gas-tight enclosures extending radially outward from said tubular-shaped housing, sensing surfaces of said electrodes being flush with, but electrically insulated from, an inner surface of said tubular housing;
voltage measurement means which measure said electrode voltages thereat; and
a processing unit responsive to outputs of said measuring means for identifying the position of the fault by comparing outputs from said voltage measurement means.
