Insulation Coordination of Arcing Horns on HVDC Electrode Lines: Protection Performance Evaluation, Influence Factors and Improvement Method

Abstract: Abstract:Arcing horns are widely used in high voltage overhead lines to protect insulator strings from being destroyed by the free burning arcs caused by lightening faults. In this paper, we focus on the insulation coordination of arcing horns on the electrode lines of a 5000 MW, ±800 kV high voltage direct current (HVDC) system. The protection performance of arcing horns are determined by the characteristics of not only the external system but also the fault arc. Therefore, the behaviors and characteristics o… Show more

“…The length of the air gap formed by the electrodes is slightly smaller than the length of the insulator string, so that the lightning impulse flashover voltage is smaller than that of the insulator string. Therefore, the arcing horn will break down before the insulator string when an overvoltage fault occurs, and the arc will be transferred to the end of the electrode to burn, so as to release the lightning energy and avoid erosion of the insulators [2].…”
