Abstract

Secondary arc extinction time is an important factor, which influences system stability because it directly affects the reclosing time. However, few reports exist on a field data of the secondary arc extinction time on transmission lines. This paper describes the investigation results of secondary arc extinction characteristics by analyzing voltage wave shapes during the lightning faults on 550 kV transmission lines. Recovery voltages and secondary arc currents on each transmission line during faults were calculated to consider correlation with the secondary arc extinction time. The secondary arc extinction time is estimated by the existing formula, the secondary arc current and the recovery voltage required for one second reclosing are evaluated.
