Abstract

A method monitors capacitor bushings of a three-phase AC mains, which has first, second, and third mains lines respectively associated with first, second, and third: phases, capacitor bushings, and mains voltages. Each of the capacitor bushings has: a conductor connected with the associated mains line, and an electrically conductive foil enclosing the conductor. The method includes, for each of the phases: determining, at a predetermined initial instant for a characteristic variable, which is characteristic for the respective capacitor bushing, a corresponding characteristic value; determining, at a predetermined later instant after the initial instant for the characteristic variable, a corresponding normalised characteristic value in dependence on the respective characteristic value and/or on at least one of remaining characteristic values; and checking whether the normalised characteristic value has impermissibly changed.
