Abstract
A corona discharge detection device comprising an optical sensor for generating an electrical signal in response to the detection of ultraviolet radiation in a prescribed range. The detection device further comprises an alarm unit which is electrically connected to the optical sensor for generating an alarm signal in response to the electrical signal generated by the optical sensor. The detection device may further comprise a directional unit for determining the location of origin of the ultraviolet radiation. The optical sensor is configured to sense ultraviolet radiation in a spectral range of from about 185 nanometers to about 260 nanometers, and of an intensity in the range of about 1 picowatt per square centimeter to about 1 nanowatt per square centimeter.
