Usually, the influence of the impulse corona on lightning overvoltage is ignored. Fully understanding the corona characteristics of 1000 kV UHV transmission line is helpful to understand the actual wave process and realize a suitable insulation design of 1000 kV UHV system. Experiments on the lightning impulse corona characteristic of bundle conductors for 1000 kV transmission lines are carried out in China UHV AC Test Base and the impulse corona Q-V curves of different bundle conductors are obtained. The results show that impulse corona causes the capacitance of the conductor increasing. Analysis on the Q-V curves shows that the positive impulse corona occurs a little time later than the lightning impulse voltage exceeds the corona inception voltage and the delay time is tenth of microsecond.","PeriodicalId":216871,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XII SIPDA)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133689615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple time-of-arrival (TOA) sensors send to central processor the whole waveform of every event detected. The EarthNetworks Lightning Sensor (ENLS) operates in a wide range (from 1Hz to 12MHz) and was designed to reduce system noise and to broaden the frequency range. At present, BrasilDAT is composed of 56 sensors covering 10 States of Brazil: RS, SC, PR, SP, RJ, ES, MG, MS, GO, and BA. We expect to conclude the full network deployment by the end of 2013 reaching up to 75 sensors covering almost all Brazilian regions (except the Amazon basin). This work intends to compare the fast e-field (E-fast) waveforms recorded during CHUVA project campaign for CG strokes that struck at a known location with the waveform recorded by several sensors at different distances from the flash. We know that waveform shapes recorded by different sensors at different distances from the flash have not just different amplitudes, but also different shapes. We know that even waveform shapes recorded by different sensors at the same distance from a flash have different shapes. To better understand these differences, we will predict electric fields at one location from measurements at many other locations and compare our predictions to measurements. We expect this to improve our propagation model and our site calibrations, and we expect it to provide a measurement of one part of the BrasilDAT peak current error.","PeriodicalId":216871,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XII SIPDA)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134399660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper discusses the use of thermography and some methods that measure the leakage current for autonomous monitoring of metal-oxide surge arresters. Environment factors that contribute for its surface temperature and, therefore, affect thermography results are evaluated and discussed. In addition, a simple and direct current measurement method is used to obtain the resistive current and show its relation with thermography.","PeriodicalId":216871,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XII SIPDA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127209479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laboratory tests show that this influence is very large on the resistivity of several types of soil, although field researches indicate a wide variation in the resistivity and moisture content only in the topmost layers of the soil. However, this variation may significantly change the ground resistance values of systems with small dimensions, thus compromising the performance of protection systems of electrical installations. The strong correlation between the soil moisture, and consequently the soil resistivity, and monthly rainfall values allows extrapolating resistivity measurements for the most critical conditions and thus improving the design of grounding systems.","PeriodicalId":216871,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XII SIPDA)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125845385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using time-correlation methods, South African Lightning Detection (SALDN) records are matched to the photographed flashes. The SALDN interpretation of the two categories is then evaluated. It is found that the SALDN detected 25% of the photographed branched upward flashes and 44% of the photographed single-channel flashes. Strokes from both categories have location errors with 2 km. Only the branched upward flashes have detected strokes with location errors greater than 2 km. This is attributed to the smaller peak currents measured by the SALDN for branched upward strokes meaning fewer sensors are able to detect strokes from these events resulting in larger location errors.","PeriodicalId":216871,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Symposium on Lightning Protection (XII SIPDA)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126714438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
