The study of the motion of moving metallic particles in GIS requires a good knowledge of the carried charge of the particle. In this paper, measurements of the charging process of a moving particle, performed in a realistic single-phase GIS, are presented. By measuring the charge impulses and the voltage phase at consecutive impacts, it is possible to estimate the carried charge and then compare the results with the existing models of the particle charge. Also, besides the discharges from in-flight corona reported by several authors, it is shown that, for higher voltage levels, several discharges between the particle and the enclosure (outer electrode) can occur as the particle impacts with the enclosure.
