The invention belongs to the field of on-line monitoring technology of insulative condition of SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride) gas insulated electric equipment, and in particular relates to a gas insulated electric equipment partial discharge multi-source joint detection method. The detection method mainly comprises the steps of preparing a test, cleaning a stainless steel cylinder, filling with SF6 gas, performing an industrial frequency AC SF6 gas PD test, pulse current detection, ultrahigh frequency sensor detection, fluorescent optical fiber sensor detection, discharge gas collection and component detection and the like. The detection method provided by the invention is simple in operation, liable to promote, and provides references for multi-dimensional information joint detection method. The detection method is widely applied to SF6 gas insulated electric equipment partial discharge multi-sensor joint detection under the condition of power frequency, and provides a simple test scheme for multi-dimensional information extraction of PD (Potential Difference) decomposition characteristics and a decomposition theory.
