Impact of pin Type Insulators on Power Distribution Networks Caused by Lightning Impulse Overvoltage

Article Preview

Abstract:

The impact of pin type insulators may cause from the lightning impulse overvoltage that hits directly to them. To investigate this problem, this work applies the ATP Draw version 5.6 software to simulate the effect of pin type insulators. Therefore, the obtained results are showed that pin type insulators at pole P4 is closely the lightning strike point, has affected more than the poles P3-P1 and P5-P7. In addition, the conductor has been taken by the heat of over current flow through on it. The flashover and breakdown severity is on insulator upon the distance of them.
