Publication number: 20160268784Abstract: A gas-insulated electrical device includes a covering film covering an inner surface of a ground tank filled with an insulation gas. The covering film is formed of an insulation dielectric covering film that becomes more positively charged than metals in a triboelectric series, and becomes positively charged upon contact with metal foreign matter. At the same time, the metal foreign matter becomes negatively charged upon contact with the covering film. In a case where the high-voltage conductor is charged to a negative polarity, a Coulomb's force acts on the metal foreign matter in contact with the covering film in a direction away from the high-voltage conductor. The metal foreign matter in the ground tank is thus suppressed from floating.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2014Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Manabu YOSHIMURA, Takashi MIYAMOTO, Soichiro KAINAGA, Hitoshi SADAKUNI

Publication number: 20150355256Abstract: A partial discharge detection apparatus detects a plurality of discharge events, finds a time interval between the plurality of discharge events, and determines, where the discharge events occur at a time interval shorter than a threshold time, that a partial discharge has occurred within a metal enclosure, or determines, where the discharge events occur only at a time interval longer than the threshold time, that a discharge has occurred outside the metal enclosure. The partial discharge detection apparatus can thus readily distinguish between a partial discharge that occurs within the metal enclosure of a gas-insulated switchgear and a discharge that occurs outside the metal enclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2013Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Manabu YOSHIMURA, Tatsuya YABE, Takashi ITO
