Abstract
- In series compensation stations of the UHV AC demonstration project in China, capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs) failed several times during the operation of disconnecting switches (DSs). The reasons for this failure are analyzed in this paper. The stray inductor, the stray capacitor between the platform and ground and the capacitor of the CVT forms a resonant circuit in series compensation stations, causing repeated oscillating overvoltage and impulse current acting on the CVTs during DS operation. A full-scale experiment indicates that the oscillating frequency is approximately 200 Hz and the repeating frequency is approximately 0.5 MHz. The simulation experiment in the laboratory indicates that the partial welding mode and the partial high electric field are the main causes of damage to the CVT element insulation. A mechanism of the insulation damage is proposed, and some suggestions are given based on our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
