Effects of Lightning Impulses on the Dielectric Properties of Hdpe
نویسندگان
چکیده
Impulse over-voltages are very common phenomena in electric power systems. Switching impulses are created by switching surges or local faults while lightning impulses are due to lightning strikes to overhead lines. Both impulses can travel as waves in the system, damaging insulation components and equipment. This paper shows that there may well be a reduction in electric field strength of the insulation of a power cable that experiences a lot of lightning impulse overvoltages. The paper also provides insight into the dominant ageing processes through the analysis of dielectric spectroscopy measurement data.

Lightning Impulse Ageing of Hv Cable Insulation
Lightning impulses can lead to accelerated ageing of extruded cables. Electrical behaviour of a dielectric material when experiencing a lightning impulse is different to that for DC or power frequency applied voltages. Pre-designed shaped HDPE material samples have been manufactured using a mould tool. The samples then have been electrically aged using an impulse generator. A real-time software...
متن کاملLightning Impulse Ageing of Hdpe
This work is concerned with the hypothesis that lightning impulses can lead to accelerated ageing of extruded polymeric cables. The behaviour of an insulation material when suffering lightning impulses is different from that for DC or power frequency over-voltages. Shaped HDPE material samples have been manufactured using a mould tool. The samples then may be electrically aged using one of the ...

متن کاملA Comparison of Polymeric Cable Insulation Properties Following Lightning Impulse Ageing
LDPE and HDPE are common materials used within high voltage insulation systems. These materials will be aged after working under high voltage for a long time. The ageing process of these materials may be affected by external factors. The application of repetitive lightning impulse over-voltages is one of these factors and will be considered in this paper. This paper includes the sample preparat...
