Abstract

An insulation degradation diagnostic device (1a) comprises a current transformer (7a), a first amplifier (15), a first high-pass filter (17), a low-pass filter (19), a second amplifier (20), a second high-pass filter (21), and a discharge judgement section (30). The current transformer (7a) 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 (5). The first amplifier (15) amplifies a current signal from the current transformer (7a). The first high-pass filter (17) removes a low frequency component from an amplified current signal. The low-pass filter (19) removes a high frequency component from a current signal from which the low frequency component has been removed. The second amplifier (20) amplifies a current signal from the low-pass filter (19) to a predetermined level. The second high-pass filter (21) extracts a signal corresponding to a discharge current caused by a partial discharge from the current signal amplified in the second amplifier (20). The discharge judgement section (30) judges whether or not a partial discharge…
