6 FAQs about [Capacitor arrester transmission]
Does a capacitor need a surge arrester?
Some capacitors require their own protection. For example, Hydro One has a VAr-compensating series capacitor at the mid point of a 300 km section of 500 kV line. The capacitor is protected from through faults by a triggered gap serving as fast bypass. But that is not enough and surge arresters are still required to carry some of the current.
Do surge arresters reduce MV & HV capacitor overvoltage?
Installation of arresters also minimizes probability of restrike, especially of multiple restrikes. This edited past contribution to INMR by Tim Rastall and Kerim Ozer of Enspec Power in the United Kingdom discussed application of surge arresters for mitigation of overvoltages on MV & HV capacitors based on single restrike.
How mcov arresters are used in a transmission system?
Figure 6 is derived using equations given in 60099-5 section 3.2.3.3. Also for the curve derivation the minimum MCOV arrester for each system is used. The fundamental purpose of arresters on transmission systems are to mitigate the effects of switching surges.
What voltage does an arrester use?
Arresters are generally chosen to provide the most protection possible for equipment thus their turn on voltage is normally 1.6 to 1.9 pu of the line to ground voltage so any switching surge above 2pu will have an effect on the arrester. When the arrester is in conduction, it is dissipating energy and heating.
Does a surge arrester absorb more energy than a standard capacitor bank?
Surge Arrester Energy Requirements • Compared to a standard capacitor bank, surge arresters in detuned designs absorb more energy; • Increasing detuning frequency brings about less absorbed SA energy in the detuned design. However, it is still higher than the SA energy in a standard capacitor bank;
What happens if an arrester is in conduction?
When the arrester is in conduction, it is dissipating energy and heating. If the switching surge is high enough in magnitude and long enough in duration, it can stress the arrester beyond its limits.
