Critical flashover overvoltages (CFOs) and volt-time curves of 15-kV and 25-kV class, pin-type porcelain insulators are determined from experimental tests with both standard and non-standard voltage waveforms. The tests are performed for configurations that are representative of medium-voltage distribution lines. Parameters are derived for application in the integration method, which is intended to model insulator performance due to non-standard voltage waveforms. The obtained parameters are used in computer simulations that show the influence of insulation breakdown on lightning-induced voltages considering different flashover criteria. The obtained results suggest the importance of an accurate flashover modeling for a correct assessment of lightning overvoltages in distribution systems.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115658230","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 evaluated surge arrester models presented similar results for 8/20 µs discharges, once that they were fitted for this kind of transient.

St. Salvatore rates him the title of “father of direct lightning research.” He documented his findings in an article published in ELECTRA magazine in 1975. Some 40 years later the IEC immortalized that work by characterizing it as the closest representation of the actual lightning flash and using it as the basis for the parameters of the 10/350 Class 1 test waveform adopted in IEC 62305-1 “Protection against lightning”. This paper examines the content of Berger's ELECTRA article and the process by which info extracted from that article led to the formulation of the 10/350 test waveform. Five widely held assumptions about lightning parameters which have been inferred from Berger's article are examined. When the data that underlie them are scrutinized, four of those five assumptions are found to be unsupported by fact. Finally the paper offers some expanded proposals for testing surge protective devices that rely on more than the exclusive use of a single testing wave form.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127751272","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}
