Thermal modeling of HV surge Arrester

The gapless metal oxide surge arresters have been available in the market for many years since they were first introduced in the 1970’s. Its primary function is to protect the equipment in the system against various electrical overstresses. They are widely used for lightning protection of power syst...

Electronics Nuclear engineering The gapless metal oxide surge arresters have been available in the market for many years since they were first introduced in the 1970’s.

A reliable condition monitoring of zinc oxide surge arrester is vital to its performance to ensure the continuity and reliability of power supply. It is known that voltage-current characteristics of zinc oxide varistors become degraded due to a series of stresses. Leakage current of the surge arrester can be increased by some environmental factors. This fact has a significant effect on the arrester performance resulting in the eventual failure of the surge arrester. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the ageing mechanism of the gapless surge arrester using COMSOL software. A 10kA, 132kV rated gapless zinc oxide surge arrester was modeled in the software using actual dimensions. The different temperature is modeled and simulated in the software. The results show that the ageing of the gapless zinc oxide surge arrester is dependent on its internal temperature, surface temperature. This is to say that there is a relationship between the arrester’s surface temperatures. The surface temperature increases as the ageing increases. Ageing can be simulated by either the increase in leakage current artificially or changing the material properties. 2014 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48656/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/48656/1/MuhamadAkmalCheAniMFKE2014.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:83069?queryType=vitalDismax&query=Thermal+modeling+of+HV+surge+Arrester&public=true masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Electrical Engineering
