The thermal stability of the parallel-connecting clearance device is good.

Description

The parallel connection gaps device that is used for the V-type insulator string of high-tension overhead line
Technical field
The utility model relates to power domain, more specifically, relates to a kind of V-type insulator string and parallel connection gaps device thereof that is used for high-tension overhead line.
Background technology
The aerial power transmission line lightning protection is antifouling to be the problem that work about electric power person makes great efforts to study always.In recent years, lightning fault and filthy fault remain one of principal element that influences the line security operation.Power frequency continued flow behind lightning stroke flashover or the pollution flashover can damage insulator, causes zero resistance insulator even insulator to fall to go here and there power outage, brings difficulty for the circuit operation maintenance.
The existing lightning protection measures of aerial power transmission line has: set up lightning conducter, reduce pole tower ground resistance, reinforced insulation, install coupling ground wire additional, leakage conductor etc. is installed.Its core concept is to improve the lightning withstand level of circuit as much as possible, reduces tripping rate with lightning strike.These lightning protection measuress can reduce " obstruction type " lightning protection mode.For the rack weakness of the early stage electrical network of China, the actual conditions of poor performance, it is suitable that lightning protection only adopts " obstruction type " mode.In recent years, China's electrical network fast development, grid structure is more and more stronger; And along with technological progress, transformer station uses the SF6 circuit breaker in a large number, the relaying protection microcomputerization, and reclosing device obtains generally to use, and seemed inadequately comprehensive if still continue to use " obstruction type " lightning protection mode this moment.
" lightning protection of insulator parallel connection gaps " this Lightning Protection of " dredging type ", its core concept are to allow circuit that certain tripping rate with lightning strike is arranged.Adopt inter space device in parallel with insulator string, the thunder and lightning energy is discharged by gap discharge, dredges power frequency arc.Though lightning stroke flashover is arranged, and reclosing can be successful, no permanent fault.
The lightning protection principle of parallel connection gaps is: the pair of metal electrodes (claiming arcing horn/arc leading angle again) in parallel at the insulator string two ends, constitute the protection gap, and protect the distance in gap long usually less than the string of insulator string.When overhead transmission line is struck by lightning, produce very high lightning overvoltage on the insulator string, but because of the lightning impulse discharge voltage in protection gap is lower than the discharge voltage of insulator string, so protect the gap at first to discharge.The power frequency arc that continues by the formed discharge channel of parallel connection gaps, is directed to the arcing horn end under electric power and thermal stress effect, be fixed on the arcing horn cigarette burning, thereby the protection insulator avoids the electric arc calcination.
The parallel connection gaps lightning protection device should have the guiding thunder discharge, shift and dredge power frequency arc, even three kinds of functions of power frequency electric field, and this has much relations with shape and size of forming the parallel connection gaps arcing horn.For example Ri Ben parallel connection gaps is more with original insulator string short circuit, its Z/Z0 in 75~85% scope, it is calculated that mostly, if employing Z/Z0 is 75% gap, can cause the tripping rate with lightning strike of circuit to improve more than 30% inapplicable China transmission line than rules value.

" overhead transmission line parallel connection gaps lightning protection device " is primarily aimed at insulator list string (I type string).Mainly be made up of upper/lower electrode, electrode material adopts Q235 carbon steel, between steel rod diameter 13~19mm.Top electrode is connected with the ball-eye of insulator string ground connection side, and for avoiding the relative motion between top electrode and the ball-eye, the Cross section Design at ball-eye middle part is a rhombus, and the top electrode union end also is designed to corresponding shape, as Fig. 2, shown in Figure 3.Top electrode upwarps slightly away from an end of insulator string, is called aciculiform.The shape of bottom electrode end is different with electric pressure.The 110kV bottom electrode is designed to sphere.The end of 220kV bottom electrode divaricates, and is called the PS type.
The shortcoming of technique scheme is as follows:
(1) do not consider to be applicable to the parallel connection gaps of " V " shape insulator string
A large amount of tests of " overhead transmission line parallel connection gaps lightning protection device " and Theoretical Calculation all are at insulator list string (I type) band parallel connection gaps." V " shape insulator string band parallel connection gaps needs research experiment again.The V-type insulator string as shown in Figure 4.
(2) do not consider the thermal stability requirement of insulator parallel connection gaps when power frequency continued flow
And along with the continuous development of city net, the short circuit current of 220kV system is increasing, and its three-phase shortcircuit electric current calculated value has also surpassed 50kA; And the short circuit current of 110kV system also reaches more than the 30kA, and the guarantor that continues of some 110kV circuit is longer opening time.This dodges power frequency continued flow and has proposed higher thermal stability requirement connecing the insulator parallel connection gaps.
