Advanced High Frequency Partial Discharge Current Sensor for Cable Condition Monitoring
Aug 04,2026

When partial discharge occurs inside a cable, high-frequency current signals can travel through the grounding path. The High Frequency Partial Discharge Current Sensor is designed to detect these signals by being installed on the ground cable, providing a non-invasive solution for local discharge monitoring. Using a Roche coil working mode, the sensor has no electrical connection between the measurement loop and the measured current, allowing detection without shutting down the tested equipment.
Reliable Solution for Partial Discharge Detection
Partial discharge is an important indicator of cable insulation conditions. During operation, discharge activity inside cables can generate high-frequency current signals that propagate along the grounding wire. Detecting these signals helps monitoring systems collect valuable information about cable conditions.
The High Frequency Partial Discharge Current Sensor is designed for this detection process. It combines a partial discharge sensor and sheath circulation sensor into one integrated structure, providing a practical sensing solution for high-frequency current signal acquisition.
The sensor adopts a non-invasive measurement method. Since there is no direct electrical connection between the sensor circuit and the measured current, it can be applied without interrupting normal equipment operation.
High-Speed Response and Wide Frequency Range
Fast response performance is one of the key characteristics of this sensor. The product supports response speeds up to nanosecond level, making it suitable for capturing rapidly changing high-frequency signals generated by partial discharge.
The sensor provides a wide operating frequency range of 0.3MHz–100MHz. This broad frequency capability allows it to detect high-frequency current signals in cable monitoring applications.
The product also features good linearity and high precision. The technical parameters specify measurement accuracy of ±0.5%, providing a reference for evaluating signal detection performance.
Integrated Structure and Stable Performance
The High Frequency Partial Discharge Current Sensor integrates local discharge detection and sheath circulation sensing functions.
The sensor uses a Roche coil working mode, which separates the measurement circuit from the monitored current. This structure helps improve installation flexibility while maintaining safe signal acquisition.
