Abstract

Based on 245kV GIS substation, very fast transient over voltages caused by disconnecting switch operation of GIS is simulated and calculated in this paper with B2SPICE program. The different protection measures are compared and analyzed, such as adding ferrite rings, adding opening and closing resistor, metal oxide arrester and R-C absorber. A low voltage experiment was conducted to estimate transient overvoltage´s during switching operation. These transient voltages are recorded by using surge sensor and digital storage oscilloscope with sample rate 1GS/s and 500MHz frequency range. Suppression techniques are employed practically to verify the validation of simulation results. The simulation results are closely matched with the experimental results in the case of ferrite rings application in reduction of maximum peak of VFTO generated during switching operation.
