Apparent discharge quantity is usually recognized as judgement standard for severity of partial discharge in the field of electrical equipment insulation diagnosis. In recent years, the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) method has been widely used due to its unique advantages on on-line monitoring and positioning, but the relationship between UHF partial discharge signals and discharge quantity is still a difficult problem of UHF method. In order to research relationship between UHF partial discharge signals and discharge quantity in GIS, a large number of experiments, based on four kinds of typical insulation defects in the GIS, are carried out. Degree of correlation, between parameters including UHF energy, quadratic integral, peak voltage, peak-to-peak value, wave area and discharge quantity, the square of discharge quantity, is studied based on coefficient of determination. The experimental results show there is linear relation between UHF signal energy and the square of discharge quantity with high related degree.
