Analysis and Research on Lightning Inrush Wave Overvoltage in EHV GIS Substation transformation project

When lightning intrudes into the over-voltage in the 500 kV substation, the lightning wave will be introduced into the substation along the line, which will seriously affect the insulation level of the equipment. In this paper, firstly, the working principle, characteristics, and lightning current simulation of the ZnO arrester are described. Then, the electromagnetic transient program (EMTP-ATP) used in a 500 kV GIS substation carried out the simulation research to the lightning over-voltage, specifically studied the lightning protection effect of metal oxide arrester, compared the lightning over-voltage under the different lightning locations and operation mode, and calculated the 500kV GIS Substation under the single in single out operation mode, 500kV. The influence of different positions of lightning arresters in GIS on the magnitude of lightning over-voltage and the lightning over-voltage on the substation equipment in GIS is also described.
