Research on Acoustic Emission Characteristics of Typical Insulation Defects in GIS Based on Photoacoustic Microphone
Various insulation defects in gas insulated switchgear(GIS)are the primary cause of insulation performance deterioration and safety accidents. The conventional ultrasonic testing method
due to the limit of the response frequency band of the piezoelectric sensors and the resonance feature of the GIS enclosure
has no way to obtain accurately the broadband partial discharge signals
thereby affecting the detection effectiveness. In this paper
a built-in broadband photoacoustic microphone technology is employed to acquire the broadband acoustic emission signatures of such four typical defects as metal protrusions
free particles
floating potential
and internal air gaps in epoxy insulation. The results show that acoustic signals generated by metal tip defect and free particle defect are clustershaped
with a longer duration and a lower peak frequency
while that of floating potential defect and internal air gap in epoxy insulation is pulse-shaped
with a short duration and a higher peak frequency. The peak frequency and amplitude of insulation defect acoustic signals are strongly correlated with defect size. The use of equivalent time and equivalent frequency method can distinguish the four types of defect sound signals effectively. The research results can provide reference for the detection and diagnosis of GIS/GIL insulation defects.
