Patent GB-2616875-A (GB)
Title: Measurement apparatus
Inventor: STANISLAW ZUREK
IPC: G01R31/12
Filed: 2022-03-23
Abstract: Apparatus 1 measures insulation resistance of an electrical insulator 2, by iteratively applying voltages to the insulator under test, increasing the voltage with time by successive increments, and sampling outputs representing the resulting current 5 through the electrical insulator 2. The apparatus may operate automatically to measure different types of insulator characteristics, with a reduced risk of breakdown voltage. For each iteration, a threshold is determined by processing samples for the respective and previous iterations, possibly by fitting a function which relates current to voltage. When the current response in the present iteration exceeds the threshold, the increasing applied voltage is stopped, allowing for the measurement to be automatically adapted to the insulator under test. A second threshold may also be determined, to allow for a warning of risk of insulation failure before the measurement is stopped.
