Abstract
Ultrasonic detection of electrical corona discharge has become an important and
useful tool for the detection of faulty insulators. The ultrasonic test unit consists of
a hand-held probe-microphone responsive to acoustic energy in the 36-to 44-kHz
range and is battery powered. Solid-state electronics translate high-frequency
sonics to the audible range and provide amplication through a speaker or headset.
The characteristics associated with a phenomenon are preserved through
translation. Energy released at 40 kHz by corona or arcing is recognizable as the
familiar ``frying'' sound. Similarly, air pressure leaks emit ``hissing'' sounds at 40
kHz. Application of this principal has resulted in the replacement of numerous
insulators before occurrence of serious electrical failures. Minute inspections and
tests revealed porcelain cracks and mechanical imperfections that would have
eventually resulted in critical electrical faults. Similarly, leaks have been eliminated
in compressed air systems, thereby reducing compressor service demands.
