Since the element groups 1 and 2 in the capacitor are composed of a plurality of elements connected in series as shown in the figure in a high-voltage capacitor, if a short circuit occurs due to dielectric breakdown of some elements, the capacitance of this element group becomes As a result, the ripple current or the pulse current generated by charging and discharging the capacitor changes. Since two sets of primary windings of the built-in current transformer 3 are connected so that the currents of the element groups 1 and 2 flow differentially, the element groups 1 and 2 have substantially the same capacity. When sound, the current of each element group is negated, and no current or voltage is generated in the secondary winding. However, if a part of the elements of element group 1 is broken and short-circuited, the current of element group 1 is reduced. Element group 2

As a method for detecting the current of the element group, there is a method of separately installing a current transformer in each element group and detecting the difference current on the secondary side.However, in the case of a DC capacitor, the current transformer is determined by the DC component of the current. Since the iron core is demagnetized and the characteristics deteriorate, the detection accuracy is lowered, which is not preferable. The method of the present invention is very advantageous in this respect.
