  • Patent number: 10444273
    Abstract: A partial discharge measurement device includes: an impulse voltage application unit; a measurement control unit; and first and second partial discharge detection unit. The measurement control unit includes: a first and a second detector level partial discharge counting unit; and a partial discharge resistance evaluation unit. Each of the first and the second detector level partial discharge counting units outputs a first or second detection signal when the first or second detection signal exceeds a predetermined specified value. The partial discharge resistance evaluation unit counts the number of occurrences of partial discharge based on an output from the first and second detector level partial discharge counting unit, and regards the impulse voltage value at which the count value has reached a predetermined value as a partial discharge inception voltage under the repeated impulse voltage application.

  • Patent number: 9322881
    Abstract: An impulse voltage generator uses a predetermined rectangular waveform signal and a high voltage to generate an impulse voltage. The high voltage is obtained by boosting an instruction voltage of the rectangular waveform signal on a per-cycle basis. A partial discharge frequency calculation section receives detection signals based on partial discharges occurring in an object to be measured by the application of the impulse voltage and counts the detection signal on a per-cycle basis as a partial discharge frequency. An application voltage signal observation circuit observes an application voltage signal indicating the impulse voltage applied to the object to be measured. In a first cycle in which the partial discharge frequency reaches a specified frequency or more, a voltage value acquiring section sets, as a partial discharge starting voltage, the peak value of the voltage indicated by the application voltage signal output from the application voltage signal observation circuit.

  • Patent number: 9197201
    Abstract: A signal generator generates a combined signal that is generated only in the period where supply of a pulse signal is effected, a pulse signal whose frequency is of a higher impulse repetition frequency than the frequency of the period setting signal and whose amplitude represents a voltage value that is lower than the high voltage HVDC value. A semiconductor switch accumulates electric charge on a capacitative element by means of the high voltage HVDC from the high voltage generator when the voltage value of the combined signal is lower than the set gate voltage value and generates an impulse voltage whose peak value is the value of the high voltage HVDC, by means of the electric charge that is discharged from the capacitative element when the voltage value of the combined signal exceeds the set gate voltage value.
