Abstract

The abnormality detecting method and apparatus for electric equipment measure the frequency spectrum of a signal detected by a partial discharge sensor 9, and detect a partial discharge signal having a frequency component in the neighborhood of a resonance frequency determined on the basis of the electric equipment and its measuring circuit, then detect the abnormality of the electric equipment. In a rotating electric machine particularly, the narrow band filter circuit 23 passes a frequency component around a resonance frequency determined on the basis of the length of the stator core to detect a partial discharge signal from the passed signal.
