The discharge characteristics of air gap is one of the important factors to determine the insulation level which is crucial for electrical engineering construction. In order to calculate the 50% breakdown voltage of rod-rod air gap under different meteorological conditions and different gap distances, we take the positive standard switching impulse test data of rod-rod air gap under different meteorological conditions as samples. Based on training set, a breakdown voltage prediction model of rod-rod air gap under different meteorological conditions was established by cuckoo search optimized weighted support vector regression (CS-ω-SVR). The results show that the average absolute percentage error of the test set is 3.6%, which verifies the validity of this computing method. The method can provide reference for the computation of air gap breakdown voltage under different altitudes and extreme meteorological conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
