Voltage Gradient Calculation

The document describes a method for calculating conductor surface voltage gradient from the IEEE Power Series 17. It provides the equations needed and defines the variables. It then shows example calculations for a line configuration, substation configuration, and twin tube configuration, providing the values used and the resulting surface voltage gradient in each case. Both example gradient values are found to be below the negative corona onset value of 20 kV/cm.

Calculation of Conductor Surface Voltage Gradient:


Method obtained IEE Power Series 17, High Voltage Engineering and Testing.
Appendix 3.4

E=(V/3)*(/(r*ln((a/Re)*2h/(4h2+a2)))

Where,
=(1+(n-1)r/R)/n

Re=Rn*(nr/R)

R=S/(2*Sin(/n))

E= Conductor Surface Voltage Gradient ( kV/cm)


V= Rated Voltage ( kV )
= Factor for Multiple Conductors
r= Radius of Conductor ( cm )
R= Outside radies of bundle ( cm )
Re=Equivalent Radiues of bundle conductor ( cm )
S= Distance between Component conductor centers ( cm )
a= Phase Spacing ( cm )
h= Height of conductor above ground ( cm )
( This value is taken as the distance between phase connection/bus bar to the
metalwork at earth potential)
n= Number of component conductors in bundle

Line Calculations:
V=1200 kV R=S/(2*Sin(/n))=45.7/(2*Sin(/8))
r= 16 cm =59.71 cm
S= 45.7 cm
a= 24 m= 2400 cm =(1+(n-1)r/R)/n
h= 8 m = 800 cm =(1+(7*16)/59.71)/8
n=8 =0.1485

Therefore, Re=Rn*(nr/R)
R= 59.71 cm =(59.71*8)* ((8*16)/59.71)
=699.38 cm
= 0.1485
Therefore,
Re= 699.38 cm E=(V/3)*(/(r*ln((a/Re)*2h/(4h2+a2)))
=(1200/3)*(0.1485/(16*ln((45.7/699.38)*1600
E= 9.99 kV/cm /(4(800)2+(2400)2)))
=9.99 kV/cm
Substation Calculations:
V=1200 kV R=S/(2*Sin(/n))=45.7/(2*Sin(/8))
r= 16 cm =59.71 cm
S= 45.7 cm
a= 27 m= 2700 cm =(1+(n-1)r/R)/n
h= 8 m = 800 cm =(1+(7*16)/59.71)/8
n=8 =0.1485

Therefore, Re=Rn*(nr/R)
R= 59.71 cm =(59.71*8)* ((8*16)/59.71)
=699.38 cm
= 0.1485
Therefore,
Re= 699.38 cm E=(V/3)*(/(r*ln((a/Re)*2h/(4h2+a2)))
=(1200/3)*(0.1485/(16*ln((45.7/699.38)*1600
E= 9.209 kV/cm /(4(800)2+(2700)2)))
=9.209 kV/cm

Twin Tube Calculations:


V=1200 kV R=S/(2*Sin(/n))=45.7/(2*Sin(/2))
r= 50 cm =22.85 cm
S= 45.7 cm
a= 27 m= 2700 cm =1 ( For Tube Conductors )
h= 8 m = 800 cm
n=2 Re=Rn*(nr/R)
=(22.85*2)* ((2*50)/22.85)
Therefore, =95.603 cm
R= 22.85 cm
Therefore,
=1 E=(V/3)*(/(r*ln((a/Re)*2h/(4h2+a2)))
=(1200/3)*(1/(50*ln((45.7/95.603)*1600
Re= 95.603 cm /(4(800)2+(2700)2)))
=5.09 kV/cm
E= 5.09 kV/cm

Both above values found to be below negative corona onset value of 20
