Abstract

Two corona models, applicable to the calculation of lightning-induced overvoltages in multiconductor overhead lines, are considered in this paper. The first model represents corona by an increase in each conductor self capacitance after the voltage has reached a threshold value, and in the second model, the influence of corona on the mutual coupling between conductors is also taken into account. Results show that corona (using any of the models) produces an increase in the overvoltage amplitudes, confirming that found in a previous work concerning single-conductor lines. It can also be seen that the results obtained by each model are quite different from each other. The effect of corona in mutual coupling should not be disregarded

Surge protector

A surge protector (or spike suppressor, surge suppressor, surge diverter, surge protection device (SPD) or transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) is an appliance or device intended to protect electrical devices from voltage spikes in alternating current (AC) circuits. A voltage spike is a transient event, typically lasting 1 to 30 microseconds, that may reach over 1,000 volts.

Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable

Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines. The outer strands are high-purity aluminium, chosen for its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion and decent mechanical stress resistance. The centre strand is steel for additional strength to help support the weight of the conductor. Steel is of higher strength than aluminium which allows for increased mechanical tension to be applied on the conductor.

Electrical conductor

In physics and electrical engineering, a conductor is an object or type of material that allows the flow of charge (electric current) in one or more directions. Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors. The flow of negatively charged electrons generates electric current, positively charged holes, and positive or negative ions in some cases. In order for current to flow within a closed electrical circuit, one charged particle does not to travel from the component producing the current (the current source) to those consuming it (the loads).
