Abstract

An insulation degradation diagnostic device () comprises a current transformer (), a first amplifier (), a first high-pass filter (), a low-pass filter (), a second amplifier (), a second high-pass filter (), and a discharge judgement section (). The current transformer () has a filtering function, with an amount of attenuation of −60 dB or less and a slope characteristic of −5 dB/oct or less at a commercial frequency and detects a current flowing through a grounding conductor (). The first amplifier () amplifies a current signal from the current transformer (). The first high-pass filter () removes a low frequency component from an amplified current signal. The low-pass filter () removes a high frequency component from a current signal from which the low frequency component has been removed. The second amplifier () amplifies a current signal from the low-pass filter () to a predetermined level. The second high-pass filter () extracts a signal corresponding to a discharge current caused by a partial discharge from the current signal amplified in the second amplifier (). The discharge judgement section () judges whether or not a partial discharge has occurred in a cable () based on the signal extracted in the second high-pass filter ().
