Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0322388A2] A leak indicator for a gas filled electrical plant, with the leak indicator being of the Bourdon tube kind, the Bourdon tube being filled with a gas having the same properties as the gas surrounding the Bourdon tube, and being in a sealed state, the nominal gas pressure in the plant deviating from the ambient atmospheric pressure. The free end of the Bourdon tube is arranged to influence a switch means, preferably a multi-step switch having at least two terminals. The leak indicator may be supplied with voltage directly from the plant, irrespective of the direction of supply to the plant, as a first terminal of the switch means may be capacitively connected with a high voltage bushing in the plant, and a second terminal may be connected with a first clamp of a voltage indicator, the second clamp of said voltage indicator being connected to earth, and as there will be contact between said first and second terminals in case of a normal state of the plant, and as there will be no contact between said terminals in case of a deviation from the normal state.
