Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out coating efficiently, preventing spark generation by establishing a fluctuating current curve and a referential current curve and by detecting a point in time when the fluctuating current curve crosses the referential current curve as the generation of a spark. CONSTITUTION:A spark detection apparatus is composed of a detector 11 which detects the fluctuation of the current running through a high voltage electrode 2 of an electrostatic coating machine, a filter circuit 12, an amplification circuit 13, a retardation circuit 14, an addition circuit 16, and a referential circuit 17. A fluctuating current curve is established by always detecting the current running through the high voltage electrode 2. Then, a value of current which is larger than the initial current value of corona discharge contained in the fluctuating current curve is added to the fluctuating current curve, and a referential current curve is established which is retarded by the time that is longer than the duration time of the corona discharge and is shorter than the time of current fluctuation caused by the approach of a material to be coated 5 to the high voltage electrode 2. Thus, a point in time when the fluctuating current curve crosses the referential current curve is detected as the generation of a spark.
