4. Test Result
4.1. Method Statement By using PD Measurement of PSD (PAMoS), check whether there is Partial Discharge at the Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). Two bays (RST 31 & GT 62) were tested during two days and for RST 31, Bus Spacer, CB Spacer and Cable Header. Same as RST 31, Bus Spacer, CB Spacer and Cable Spacer of GT 62 were tested. Each point was installed with External UHF Sensor to measure the Partial Discharge. Furthermore, Noise Sensor was installed where would have most external noise at moment. Both Sensors (UHF & Noise Sensors) were connected to the PAMoS and by using hardware noise gating, external noises and real PD inside of GIS were clearly distinguished.

5. Conclusion
5.1. UHF PD Measurement

5.1.1. No PD movement was notified at RST 31 and GT 62 of 220kV S/S GIS. 5.1.2. Site itself includes much of noises, however it is not real PD inside of GIS and it was only external noises.

6. Recommendation
No PD movement was notified for Japan AE 220kV GIS, however, highly recommend for periodical testing. 1 time per every 6 to 12 months should be preferable interval for periodical testing to prevent the potential accident.
