TNB-CIRED-ACEM 07" 0cT2021 8.50am-10.30am Insulation Coordination for Bare Overhead Line System By definition, according to IEC 71-1, insulation coordination is ‘the selection of the dieleettle strength of equipment in relation to the voltages which can appear on the system for which the equipment is. intended and taking into account the service environment and the characteristics of the available protective devices’. The basic principle of insulation coordination is to select the insulation strength and protective device for an insulation system such that the protective level of the insulation is always below the withstand level of the device to be protected with a safe margin. This webinar session will focus on insulation coordination practices for My bare overhead distribution lines. Moreover, this session will provide some guides to estimate the performance of MV bare overhead lines under the local lightning activities. Key. Takeaway There are two major factors that need to be considered in order to implement an insulation coordination strategy: + Understanding of the different types of overvoltage that are found on the power system that the equipment encounters in + General assessment of the insulation performance in terms of the number of failures when subjected to the stresses due to these overvoltage.
