Abstract
Abstract A partial discharge detecting device for a resin-molded transformer having no-load switching tap terminals on a high voltage winding thereof. An amplifier amplifies the output detection signal of a partial discharge detecting sensor connected between the tap terminals, and an electro-optic converter converts the output signal of the amplifier into an optical signal. The optical signal is applied through an optical fiber to an opto-electric converter where it is converted into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is applied to an indicator. The partial discharge detecting sensor, the amplifier circuit, and the electro-optic converter are held at a potential corresponding to a potential of the tap terminals.
