Remote leakage current detector for identification of insulators discharges

Performances of high voltage insulators can be evaluated by analyses of leakage current (LC) patterns. When insulators are polluted, the development of the LCs may lead to discharges causing insulator flashovers. This paper proposes a simple method of identifying the state of discharge activities through remotely sensed LCs. A remote detector, which is capable of detecting LC by capturing resultan...
