Development of a Portable Leakage Current Detecter for Arrester Diagnosis

Detection of small leakage current is the most important technique in arrester diagnosis. Various types of leakage current detector have been commercialized, but they are not available for the railway arresters including voltage harmonics, and do not furnish enough information needed for arrester diagnosis. This paper describes the development of a leakage current detector which is suitable for the railway arresters. The detector is consisted of a sensor unit with amplifier, an optical linker and main analyzer. Frequency bandwidth and measuring range of the detector is 9[Hz]$\~$850[Hz] and 50[uA]$\~$5[mA], respectively.
