Abstract

AbstractThere are many defects in gas‐insulated metal‐enclosed switchgear (GIS) and gas‐insulated transmission lines (GIL) that may cause accidents, such as floating potentials, metal particles, air gaps, and cracks in support insulators. Nevertheless, to‐this‐date, there is no effective method to recognize them to adjust their operation status. Accordingly, this study compared three typical defect models to explore the partial discharge process, and three typical experimental models were established to identify the characteristic parameters of acoustic and electrical information in the development of defects. The research study shows that that as the voltage increases, the partial discharge of free‐metal‐particle defects and air‐gap defects obtained by the pulse‐current method increase gradually. A sudden increase also occurred in the partial discharge of the floating potential defect. The discharge amount of free conductive particles obtained by an ultrahigh‐frequency detection method was distributed symmetrically on both sides of the applied voltage peak, and the other two defects were on one side of the peak and yielded an obvious phase difference. The particle collision signal obtained by the ultrasonic method was obvious, but had no obvious phase relationship with the applied voltage. However, the obtained floating potential defect information had obvious phase differences, and the ultrasonic method was not sensitive to air‐gap defects. The three typical defects can be identified by the combined method more accurately; this provides a theoretical basis and data support for GIS and GIS voltage tests, detection technologies, and online monitoring methods.
