Simulation and Analysis of the Potential Distribution of UHVAC ZnO Surge Arrester
To obtain the potential distribution of ZnO surge arrester
the finite element numerical calculation meth-od is used for 3D modeling. By simulating the electrical field of AC ZnO surge arrester in 1 000 kV system
the poten-tial distribution of surge arrester and the capacitive current of ZnO varistors are calculated. The fiber optic currentmethod is used for on-line test of the measurement on capacitive current of ZnO varistors. The comparison of the simu-lated results with the measured results proved the accuracy of the simulating model. In the paper two factors are hav-ing influence on the potential distribution of surge arrester
including the relative dielectric constant of ZnO varistorsand the cover depth of equalizing ring. The conclusion is:The uniformity of the potential distribution of ZnO surge ar-rester increases with the increase of the relative dielectric constant of ZnO varistors. The voltage distribution coeffi-cient of the toppest section of surge arrester is more ideally with the increase of cover depth of the upper equalizingring when the lower equalizing ring cover is in constant depth.
