Breakdown Analysis of a 500 kV HGIS Equipment in Lightning Impulse Test
Breakdown of a 500 kV hybrid gas insulated switchgear(HGIS) equipment happened in lightning impulse test during delivery inspection. To understand the cause of the fault
the chamber where the fault took place was determined
and an endoscope was adopted to find the discharge point on the bushing.After replacing the failed bushing by a new one
which has passed lightning impulse test
the 500 kV HGIS equipment finally passed the test. Disassembly inspection of the failed bushing shows that there are obvious discharge points on the conducting rod and shield cover
indicating the assembly shop is not clean enough. Corresponding preventions are put forward.
