Electric Field Simulation and Optimization of Composite Bushing and Connecting Copper Bar Area of 40.5 kV Gas-insulated Ring Main Unit
In view of partial discharge phenomenon of composite bushing and connecting copper bar area in the compartment of a certain type of 40.5 kV gas insulated ring main unit
which leads to the reduction of the insulation performance of the ring main unit
the SolidWorks software is used to set up a three-dimensional model of the composite bushing and connecting copper bar area
and then Ansys Workbench finite element analysis software is used to simulate the electric field of the composite bushing and connecting copper bar area. The results show that the electric field is concentrated on the end of the hexagon socket cylindrical head screw
top of the stationary contact of arc initiation
top of the connecting copper bar and the bending position of the connecting copper bar. On this basis
such four structural optimization measures as change of the type of hexagon socket screw
addition of a grading shield on the top of the stationary contact of arc initiation
increase of the bending radius of the rounded corner connecting copper bar the increase of the distance between the connecting copper bar and the front panel of the enclosure are adopted to effectively reduce the electric field intensity near the composite bushing and connecting copper bar area. Finally
the optimized composite bushing and connecting copper bar are assembled and the prototype has passed the insulation test verification.
