Abstract
- During the switching of disconnectors in gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), repeated strikes occur in the contact gap and lead to very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO). Severe VFTO may bring damage to transformers and other equipment. The switching speed of the disconnector is one of the important factors which influences VFTO. There are still different opinions on this factor. Very little quantitative study was done before this paper. In this paper, the whole repeated strike process associated with the switching operation of the disconnector was simulated and analyzed. The polarity and the probability characteristics of breakdown voltage were analyzed. The impacts of the switching speed of the disconnector on VFTO were studied by statistical methods. Comparisons were made between simulated and measured results. The simulation result shows that within a certain range of speed, disconnectors with a lower switching speed generate lower trapped charge voltage after opening operation and lower VFTO magnitude during the opening and closing operations.
