Lightning, when it is encountered, affects service primarily through its influence on lines. The lightning insulation strengths which may be suitable for the lines may bear little or no relation to the operating voltage or the basic insulation strengths found satisfactory at the stations. In order that service will be affected a minimum by the excessive lightning voltages which may be propagated to, or originate at the stations, it is desirable that they be discharged external to the station and Us apparatus. To accomplish this four lightning insulation levels are proposed; the basic or lowest level (determined by consideration of generated and switching surge voltages) being established by the line insulation or spillway gaps at the line entrances; the buses and connections constituting the next higher level; apparatus bushings next; and finally the apparatus internals. More complete data on the nature of transient voltages and the performance of insulation with these voltages applied, are required before insulation can be coordinated with assurance. During the interim period however it should be possible to accomplish substantial improvement to service by applying to specific cases as they arise, the knowledge and data already available and being gathered. Since the entire project is distinctly in the development and research stage, the authors believe more progress should be accomplished before recognized standardization can be undertaken to advantage of such features as test waves, characteristics of insulation and insulation levels for lines, stations and apparatus.","PeriodicalId":260406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the A.I.E.E.","volume":"79 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1930-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131874256","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}

Montsinger and Dann. The paper first outlines the principal considerations which govern the determination of transmission line insulation on one hand, and transformer insulation on the other. It concludes that the line insulation is a service problem requiring a unique solution whereas the transformer insulation is a manufacturing problem requiring a standardized solution. True coordination of one with the other therefore seems impossible, indicating the need for protective measures at the point of contact. Considerations affecting the selection and characteristics of such protective measures are discussed briefly, and the reasons outlined for believing that at present service experience is a better criterion than research tests upon which to decide such selection. Twenty-five years' service experience on the system now controlled by the Buffalo, Niagara and Eastern Power Corporation, with protective gaps similar to those recommended as one of the proposed protective measures, is described, and conclusion drawn that the use of such gaps under suitable conditions constitutes a satisfactory protective measure.","PeriodicalId":260406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the A.I.E.E.","volume":"41 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1930-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120982359","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}

The suggestion is made that much experimental work should be done with regard to these theories before drawing any definite conclusions. Reference is made to Magnus Effect and to the “lift” of ice-coated cables in wind storms. This lift, perpendicular to the direction of the wind, is carefully considered, and diagrams show experimental values of this lift on models similar to the ice-coated cables. The diagrams indicate variations and reversals of this thrust due to small changes of angle of the specimen to the direction of the wind. The suggestion is made that these alternate lifting and depressing effects should be considered as the cause of some, if not a large percentage, of the phenomenal movements of ice-coated conductors in relatively light winds. As in most earlier reports and discussions there does not seem to be any remedy as a result of this study, other than the heating of the conductor electrically to such a temperature throughout sleet-forming periods that the sleet cannot form on the wires.","PeriodicalId":260406,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the A.I.E.E.","volume":"135 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1930-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134003866","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}
