Analysis of a Short Circuit Fault in a 220 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear
A short circuit fault in a new 220 kV gas insulated switchgear(GIS) happened when the GIS was starting
leading to surface burn of insulator.In this study
the possible causes of the fault are analyzed and verified.The result shows that excessive silicone grease on the seal ring results in this fault
where some grease sticks to the basin-type insulator spacer to form an grease film while mating two flanges
and the moisture in SF6 gas condenses on the film and the insulator to reduce the dielectric strength greatly.Besides
insufficient delivery test and acceptance test are also one of the causes of the fault.Some precautionary measures are proposed to insure the GIS against this kind of faults.
