Investigation on Characteristics of Arc Extinguishing Time of a New Lightning Protection Gap for Transmission Lines
To reduce lightning trip-out rate and accident rate of overhead transmission lines
a new kind of arc extinguishing lightning protection gap(AELPG)
which is different from traditional lightning protection equipments
is developed. At the moment when a transmission line is struck by lightning and the lightning surge is going to break down the gap
AELPG can soon jet out sufficient electronegative gas flow to quickly cut off the arc and effectively prevent the insulator from being damaged by the arc. To attain the goal of preventing the breaker from trip-out due to lightning strike
the arc extinguishing time of AELPG must be less than reaction time of relay protection devices. A large number of tests are conducted to investigate the arc extinguishing time characteristics of AELPG.
