Online Partial Discharge Monitoring of Gas-Insulated Switchgear
Partial discharge (PD) in Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) and Gas-Insulated Lines (GIL) is a leading indicator that a fault will occur in the insulation, and immediate action needs to be taken to prevent a catastrophic failure. PD can be caused by particles floating in the gas insulation or loose or broken components, such as a piece of metal shaving that gets too close to a conductor.
Since PD accelerates the aging and deterioration of insulation, the continuous online monitoring, trending, and diagnostics of PD activity play a critical role in assessing insulation condition and the risk of failure in GIS and GIL throughout the equipment’s lifetime.
