Evaluation Methodology, Numerical Verification and Retrofilling Procedure for Power Transformers to Ensure K‐Class Flame Retardancy and Environmentally Friendly

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing demands for fire safety and environmental friendliness, retrofilling transformers with alternative insulating liquids has become a growing trend. However, retrofilling power transformers remains uncertain, as more residual mineral oil compromises K‐class flame retardancy, and its impact on environmental performance has yet to ...

Development of ± 550 kV DC GIS Basin Insulator

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The basin insulator is a core component of the insulation system for ± 550 kV gas‐insulated switchgear (GIS). This paper, using a finite element method for multi‐physics simulations of electric–thermal coupling, determines a geometry suitable for the industrial production of ± 550 kV GIS basin insulators.

Mechanism of Quasi‐Power‐Frequency Resonant Overvoltage Triggered by Multiple Lightning Strikes in High‐Voltage Alternating Current Systems Equipped With Shunt Reactor

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the generation mechanism of quasi‐power‐frequency resonant overvoltage triggered by multiple lightning strikes in high‐voltage alternating current (HVAC) systems equipped with shunt reactors. Based on field measurements from a 500 kV AC system, equivalent and simplified circuit models have been established to analyse ...
