Analysis on Influence of Transient Overvoltage on Insulation Performance of Bipolar Neutral Line Surge Capacitor
The main function of neutral line surge capacitor is to reduce low order harmonics and suppress lightning surge. However
when the surge voltage reaches a certain value
the energy will accumulate in a large amount in a short period of time
causing insulation breakdown and explosion inside the capacitor. In this paper
the influence of transient overvoltage on the insulation performance of bipolar surge capacitor at a ± 500 kV DC converter station is analyzed. Through the analysis of discharge fault phenomena and characteristics analysis as well as disassembly tests
such issues as the design of bipolar neutral bus overvoltage and insulation coordination
as well as the influence of transient overvoltage on the insulation degradation of neutral bus surge capacitor are demonstrated. Moreover
the preventive measures are proposed
which have important reference significance for safe operation of DC converter station.
