Improvement of Spark Gap System for 500 kV Series Compensation System
The configuration and breakdown principle of the spark gap system
which is widely used in 500 kV series compensation system
are introduced.Considering the strong electromagnetic interference
the circuit of the gap triggering device(GTD)is redesigned
and its principle and characteristic are discussed.The configuration and spark breakdown principle of the trigatron are described.Triggering tests of trigatron and spark gap indicate that the improved GTD can stably break down the trigatron
and subsequently break down the complete spark gap.Artificial single-phase grounding test demonstrates that the complete spark gap can be stably broken down.
