The possibility of UHF (ultra high frequency) method used in partial discharge detection in GIS is analyzed, and the UHF sensor, simulating passive filter, detecting the method of wide-band and narrow-band are studied, in order to avoid interferes of low-frequency. The authors develop an inner loop sensor in GIS model and investigate UHF method detecting partial discharge in GIS. The results indicate that the UHF system of detecting PD can effectively detect partial discharge and avoid outer corona interfere and Periodic pulse interfere. At the same time, narrow-frequency PD detection is an effective detection method to restrain UHF interferes.
