The coaxial lead structure includes a GIS cavity 1, a circular hole 2 provided on the GIS cavity, a medium cylinder 3 provided at the circular hole and sealing the circular hole, a thin cylindrical metal lead 4 that extends into and is fixed to the medium cylinder, and a ground lead 5 connected to the thin cylindrical metal lead.

The ground potential screw is fixed to the housing 10 of the GIS cavity through a ground potential threaded hole 6 provided in the housing 10 of the GIS cavity. The two ground nuts clamp and fix the other end of the ground lead to the thin cylindrical metal lead. A part of the thin cylindrical metal lead extending into the medium cylinder is flush with an inner wall of the GIS cavity, but does not penetrate into the GIS cavity.

(11) where c is a propagation velocity of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum, that is, 3×10.sup.8 m/s, and ƒ.sub.c is the upper cut-off frequency.

(12) A length of the thin cylindrical metal lead is no more than one quarter of a wavelength of the upper cut-off frequency, the length of the thin cylindrical metal lead is denoted by 1, and the following formula is met:

(13) $l⩽\frac{1}{4}\frac{c}{\sqrt{{\mathrm{.Math.}}_r}{f}_c}$

(14) where c is a propagation velocity of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum, that is, 3×10.sup.8 m/s, ƒ.sub.c is the upper cut-off frequency, and ε.sub.r is a dielectric constant of the medium cylinder.

(15) As shown in FIG. 2, the present disclosure further provides a method for radiating the GIS partial discharge UHF signal outward based on the structure described above, including: providing a coaxial lead structure to radiate a UHF electromagnetic wave signal generated by partial discharge inside the GIS cavity outside the circular hole; further enhancing, by using a current oscillation effect of the thin cylindrical metal lead, the UHF electromagnetic wave signal radiated outward; and providing a UHF detection sensor and an instrument next to the coaxial lead structure to detect UHF signals.

(16) The following is a specific implementation process of the present disclosure.

(17) A coaxial lead structure for radiating a GIS partial discharge UHF signal outward is provided on a housing of a GIS lightning arrester. Specifically, holes are provided on a base of the arrester to mount an epoxy resin cylinder, and coaxial leads are mounted inside the cylinder. A thickness of an inner wall of a GIS housing cavity is 20 mm, a radius of an inner surface is 3 mm, and a diameter of the cylindrical metal lead provided inside the epoxy resin cylinder is 5 mm. The metal lead is grounded. In this case, signal detection sensitivity at the outside is twice as high as that of the inside.

(18) The UHF signals radiated by the GIS coaxial lead and the GIS disc insulator of the present disclosure are respectively detected, and time domain waveform and frequency spectrum waveform of the signals are drawn for effect comparison, as shown in FIGS. 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B. It can be seen by comparison that the UHF signal intensity radiated by the GIS coaxial lead is further enhanced than the UHF signal intensity radiated by the GIS disc insulator, which improves the detection sensitivity.

(19) The above are preferred embodiments of the present disclosure. Any changes made according to the technical solutions of the present disclosure fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure when functions and effects produced by the changes do not exceed the scope of the technical solutions of the present disclosure.
