System and method for detecting partial discharge in a switchgear cabinet

Abstract

A partial discharge detection system includes a plurality of partial discharge sensors mounted within an electrical switchgear cabinet and a monitoring device for monitoring the output of the plurality of sensors and outputting at least one output signal based on detected partial discharge activity. A related method for detecting partial discharge activity in an electrical switchgear cabinet, includes the steps of mounting a plurality of partial discharge sensors within the electrical switchgear cabinet and monitoring the output of the plurality of sensors and outputting at least one signal based on detected partial discharge activity.
