Cause Analysis of Inaction of the DC Arrester Monitor on the Pole Bus of a Converter Station
The monitor is connected in series to the earth terminal of the metal oxide arrester and is used to record the arrester operation numbers as well as the leakage current. Standards JB/T 10492—2025 and GB/T 24845—2018 specify the operating current of the monitor at the standard 8/20 μs waveform
while no requirements are made for other impulse current waveforms. In actual system operation
the current waveform flowing through the arrester is not always the standard 8/20 μs lightning current waveform
which may lead to inaction of the arrester monitor. In this paper
for the inaction case of a DC arrester monitor on the pole bus of the converter station
the test work is carried out item by item to analyze the causes. The test results show that the longer the current waveform and the gentler the wavefront
the larger the operating current of the arrester monitor. It can be further inferred that in this fault case
the current flowing through the arrester has a longer duration (approximately 6.5 ms)
resulting in the need for a larger current amplitude to trigger the standrad 8/20 μs test waveform
and this operating current is likely to be greater than 700 A.
