Electric Field Analysis and Insulation Structure Optimization of the Contact Box for 40.5 kV Air Insulated Switchgear
In order to improve the insulation level of the contact box for 40.5 kV air insulated switchgear
the analysis of the actual insulation problems of the contact box and the simulation of the three-phase overall electric field are carried out.It is clarified that the small air gap of composite insulation is weakness point
such as the contact boxes overphase lap joint and the fixed installation.And corresponding structural improvements are made to the weak points.The simulation results show that under the premise that other structures are the same
compared with the common step lap structure
adopting the innovative upper and lower lap structure for the small air gap between the phases
the maximum field strength at the air gap can be reduced by 37.6%.For small air gap at the fixed installations location
artificially increasing the air gap or increasing the grounding shield can reduce the electric field to the allowable value.The optimized contact box was manufactured and tested to verify the effectiveness of the improvement and improve the insulation performance of the contact box.
