INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, MADRAS 60036 DEC. 27-20 ay Investigation of VFTO’s in GIS Using EMTP D.N. Yadav and R. S. Gorayan Abstract-This paper discusses the generation of Very Fast ‘Transient Overvoltages (VFTO) in the ease of disconnector ‘operation in Gas Insulated Substations (GIS). Oscillating Transient Overvoltages in GISis caused by switching operations “orline to enclosure faults, These Very Fast Transient vervoltages (VFTO) can lead to secondary breakdowns within GIS and transient enclosure voltages outside the GIS. The magnitude of VETO is one of the important factors to be considered in the ‘design of a GIS. As the magnitude and temporal characteristics ‘of VFTO varies in accordance with the configuration of the system, Thus, its important to develop a suitable simulation model for the estimation of these Overvoltages and their influence of the GIS. These estimated values along with other
