Abstract:
An alternative, low-cost, current device to be used in leakage detection is presented in this work. The main advantages, besides the cost and portability, are the high efficiency and ease of operation, enabling a simplified and effective implementation in energized electrical power systems. Its main purpose includes detections in direct current auxiliary systems (DCAS), whose reliable and continuous operation is essential to guarantee safety and robustness in a large variety of assets, such as large power plants, substations and even industry. Such effectiveness along with the proof of concept are demonstrated through tests and real maintenance situations exhibited in the final sections.
