The distinctive advantage of Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) are: compact, low weight, high reliability, safety against touch
contact, low maintenance and long life. To utilize GIS advantages, it is necessary to detect the PD defect types in operation
and analyze the PD source location accurately.
While there is an increasing demand for GIS with its many advantages such as being airtight and small, it consumes a lot of time and is expensive in case of breakdown. Most GIS accidents are caused by foreign substances (conductive particles, protrusion electrode) and loosened bolts inside the GIS. To prevent GIS accidents in advance, it requires advanced diagnosis to determine whether or not there is a problem in a live wire.
When partial discharge occurs inside GIS, it leads to the generation of electro-magnetic waves in the broadband ranging from several hundred MHz to several GHz and this electromagnetic wave leaks through the insulation spacer or earth wire. It uses high sensitivity internal and external sensors to detect and analyze electromagnetic waves radiating from the defective source inside GIS to diagnose whether or not partial discharge has occurred. Reduce the scale of ripple effect of GIS accidents with early detection of breakdown. Stable operation of the equipment thanks to advanced diagnosis for GIS.
