Monitoring device and monitoring method for inter-couple insulating state

Abstract

The invention provides a monitoring device for an inter-couple insulating state. The monitoring device is connected to a to-be-monitored dissimilar metal couple structure. The monitoring device comprises a switching unit, a detecting unit and a processing unit. The switching unit enables detecting resistors to be separately connected between a first metal component and a second metal component in a switching manner; the detecting unit detects the current of the detecting resistors; the processing unit receives the current values, acquires an equal insulating value curve according to resistance values and the current valves of the corresponding detecting resistors, compares the equal insulating value curve with a predetermined critical equal insulating value curve and judges the insulating state between the first metal component and the second metal component according to the comparison result. The invention also provides a corresponding monitoring method. According to the device and the method provided by the invention, the insulating state of the dissimilar metal couple structure can be monitored so as to provide a ground for maintenance and exchange of an inter-couple insulating material. By combined use with a dissimilar metal couple inter-couple insulating process, the electrochemical corrosion of the dissimilar metal couple structure can be effectively reduced and prevented.
