With the application of the articulated phase insulator, and the speed of electric locomotive rising, it is inevitable for the electric locomotive to adopt the technology automatic passing through the electric phase separation. However, when the locomotive passes the electric phase separation, a variety of overvoltages will be generated, such as the cut-off overvoltage and the closing overvolta...

<span lang="EN-US">The proposed scheme is employed for the efficient operation of a DC-DC-based buck converter. This protection shows optimal placement varistor in power electronics converter side under different surge conditions. Advanced varistors have excellent electrical material properties and electrothermal behavior enhancement absorption capability. Varistors been examined widely l...

When the ultra high voltage (UHV) substation used the gas insulated switchgear (GIS) system to switch lines with capacitive current, the pre-breakdown and multiple reignition will occur between switching contacts. Because of discharge characteristics of SF6 and special structures of GIS system, the variations of the electromagnetic transient process and very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO) ar...

500kV substation is especially important to the grid of our country, once it encounters lightning damage, the safety and reliability of the whole power system will be directly affected. As lightning intruding waves will cause overvoltage on electric equipments by intruding from the transmission line or straightly stroking the substation, which seriously influences the insulation level of equipm...

In recent years, with the rapid development of offshore wind turbines (WTs), the problem of lightning strikes has become more and more prominent. In order to reduce the failure rate caused by the transient overvoltage of lightning struck offshore WTs, the influencing factors and the response rules of transient overvoltage are analyzed. In this paper, a new integrated electromagnetic transient m...

The challenge of designing robust electronic circuitry often results in a design with a multitude of discrete protection components with associated cost, design time, and space additions. This article discusses fault protected switch architecture, along with the performance benefits and other advantages it offers vs. traditional discrete protection solutions. A new novel switch architecture and...

Abstract – This paper investigates overvoltages on the SF6 substation enclosure caused by the switching operation of the interrupter. The paper analyzes the amplitude and the overvoltage duration on the substation enclosure. Switching overvoltages take part in the everyday drive of HV substations and constitute an undesired phenomenon that may often, beside transient disturbances, lead to undes...
