Assignment II

1. A 132 kV transmission line is connected to a 132/33 kV transformer located 30 m from a 400 kV arrester. A 1,000 kV/μs surge travelling at 3x10^8 m/s would subject the transformer to a maximum voltage of 620 kV, which is below the transformer's 650 kV BIL rating. The arrester can protect the transformer from this surge. 2. The document asks to determine the rating of a lightning arrester (LA) to protect a 132/33 kV transformer in a substation and suggest its location, given insulator and line surge impedance ratings. 3. The document provides volt-time characteristics for

ASSIGNMENT-II

Module-2

1. An arrester is located 30 m from a 132/33 kV transformer (in Fig. 1). The B.I.L of the high
voltage winding of the transformer is 650 kV. A surge with a wave front rising at the rate of
1,000 kV/µsec is travelling over the 132 kV line to which the transformer is connected and in
a direction to meet the transformer. If the discharge voltage of arrester is 400 kV, what is the
highest voltage to which the transformer is subjected to? Can the arrester protect the
transformer? Explain your answer. Take the velocity of propagation of surge as 3×108 m/sec.

2. Obtain the rating of a L.A. to protect an effectively grounded 132/33 kV transformer in a


substation and suggest its location with respect to the transformer. The insulators allow a
voltage of 860 kV (9 discs) and the line surge impedance is 400 Ω B.I.L. 550 kV.

3. A pair of volt time characteristics of a transformer insulation and that of gap associated with
a transformer bushing as below:

Fig. 2

(i) Is there coordination of insulation?


(ii) Can the gap protect the transformer against steep fronted surges?
(iii) Can the gap protect the transformer against very slowly rising wave fronts? Explain
your answer.
4. Draw the graphs showing surge magnitudes at various locations for the case shown below.
Take L.A. discharge voltage=500 kV.

5. Suggest a suitable insulation co-ordination scheme for a 400 kV substation.


6. What is the basic impulse level? Give its values for 33, 132, 220, and 400 kV effectively
grounded systems.
