An apparatus for diagnosing an insulation condition between a battery pack and the ground includes a first resistor element electrically connected between a positive terminal of the battery pack and the ground, and a control circuit. The control circuit records a current flowing through the first test port as a first test current, while a high-level voltage is being applied between the positive terminal and the ground. The controller diagnoses the insulation condition between the battery pack and the ground, based on the first test current.

The disclosure discloses a method and device for monitoring partial discharge. The monitoring method including: step a, connecting a monitoring circuit in parallel to both ends of a tested product, disposing a ground wire between the monitoring circuit and ground, disposing a first sensor in the monitoring circuit, and disposing a ground wire sensor on the ground wire; step b, applying an excitation signal to the tested product, acquiring a first signal through the first sensor and acquiring a ground wire signal through the ground wire sensor within a monitoring cycle; and step c, determining whether the tested product has partial discharge through the first signal and the ground wire signal. The disclosure can avoid the partial discharge monitoring device from wrongly determining an interference signal to be a partial discharge signal, enhance anti-interference capability of the partial discharge monitoring device, and improve monitoring accuracy.

An object of the present invention is to propose a partial discharge determination device and method that can highly reliably determine the degree of progress of partial discharge occurring in an underground power transmission cable without preparing plural standard patterns. A distribution pattern of a set of the charge amount and the occurrence phase angle of each partial discharge occurring in a period of one or more cycles of an applied voltage of a power transmission cable is sequentially generated, a first classification process in which the pattern is classified into any one of classes on the basis of a standard distribution pattern for each class and a second classification process in which the distribution pattern are executed, a classification result by the first classification process is evaluated on the basis of a classification result by the second classification process, and the degree of progress is determined.
