Study on Electro-thermal Coupling Simulation on Surface Defects of Busbar Insulation Sheath
Busbar is a conductor for collecting and distributing current
and the insulation sheath on its surface plays a major role in corrosion prevention and insulation protection. Defects in the insulation sheath can affect the electric field
current and temperature distribution of the sheath
thus threatening normal operation of substation. In this paper
based on finite element simulation software
such three typical defect models as partial insulation sheath aging
external insulation contamination and foreign object during the double-phase busbar connection are constructed and
on this basis
the electric field
temperature distribution and leakage current variation on the insulation sheath surface are analyzed.The results show that the aging of the insulation sheath surface can lead to a significant increase in leakage current due to the decrease of insulation resistance
while the attachment of metallic foreign objects and foreign objects connection between the double-phase busbars have a small influence on leakage current.Attachment of metallic foreign bodies and foreign object connection between double-phase busbar can lead to serious distortion of electric field on surface of the insulation sheath
even exceed the air breakdown voltage
thus threatening normal operation of the busbar. While
the influece of the three defects on the temperature distribution of the busbar is very small. The relevant simulation results can provide a theoretical basis for the operation condition detection method and fault diagnosis of the insulation sheath.
