Abstract

Porcelain insulators are widely used in overhead high-voltage power transmission lines while providing adequate insulation to withstand switching and lightning over voltages. For the safety consideration, we proposed a novel insulator inspection method using harmonic, which is retrieved from the low frequency signal. The working principle of this new method is based on the relationship between the low frequency harmonic and the defective characteristic of the insulators. So, in this paper, the harmonic retrieval in the complex noise is solved with the HOC (High Order Cumulants) is extended. In the experiment, as one of our dedicated contribution, we illustrate low frequency harmonic and the defective characteristics of the porcelain insulators.
