[0002] With the establishment of the double carbon goal, the demand for electric energy in China has increased dramatically, and the power transmission line has developed rapidly, gradually forming a regional interconnected large power grid structure. As the main carrier of power energy transmission, overhead power transmission lines play an important role in the composition of the power system. Therefore, the safe operation of the power transmission line is of great significance to the normal operation of the power system.
[0003] In the overhead power transmission line, the overhead ground wire (lightning conductor) is an important part of ensuring the safe operation of the line. However, with the continuous increase of the transmission capacity of the overhead line, the induced voltage and current of the ground wire caused by the large current of the conductor are continuously increasing, and the line energy loss also increases. In the past, in order to suppress the induced current, the ground wire adopts a single-end grounding mode in a strain section, that is, one end is directly grounded, and the other end is provided with a strain insulator, and a discharge gap is connected in parallel at both ends of the insulator to discharge the lightning current when the ground wire is struck by lightning. However, when the current of the conductor is too large, the amplitude of the induced voltage on the ground wire increases, eventually leading to discharge of the parallel gap. On the one hand, the spark discharge is an arc discharge, which can easily affect the safety of the equipment; on the other hand, the continuous sparking accompanied by sound can easily cause panic and complaints from the public.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, addressing the issues of slow response speed and potential public panic caused by spark discharge in existing ground wire suspension clamps, this invention provides a ground wire tension insulator capable of suppressing induced current and preventing arcing. This improves the response rate to ground wire short-circuit faults while avoiding public panic, providing guidance for engineering practice. The insulator includes the following components: 1. Insulation support module: One end of this module is connected to the ground wire, and the other end is connected to the tower. It bears the mechanical tension of the ground wire and provides electrical insulation, while reducing the induced current in the ground wire. This component fixes the ground wire to the tower. Its structure is the same as the ground wire suspension clamp before the improvement. It can firmly fix the ground wire to the tower while maintaining good electrical contact with both.
[0035] 2. Lightning current discharge module: This module is integrated with the insulating support component and is permanently connected in parallel between the ground wire and the tower; the lightning current discharge module is used to quickly conduct when a lightning overvoltage (induced lightning overvoltage / direct lightning overvoltage) is detected on the ground wire, and discharge the lightning current to the ground.
[0036] 3. Safety monitoring module: This module ensures the thermal stability and aging issues of the lightning current discharge module during long-term operation, monitors the safety of the lightning current discharge module, and evaluates its operating status in real time.
[0037] Specifically, the insulation support module is a tension insulator. The tension insulator adopts a classic structure, with its core load-bearing component being a core rod made of epoxy resin-impregnated fiber. This core rod is entirely covered by a high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber shed formed through a molding process. The shed consists of alternating large and small umbrella discs to optimize creepage distance and self-cleaning performance. The core rod, as the central axis component, runs through the entire insulator, and its two ends are firmly connected to metal end fittings through a crimping process. The shed acts as an insulating sheath, completely enclosing the core rod column without any gaps between them. In terms of overall spatial layout, the insulation unit composed of the core rod and shed is located between the ground wire side fittings and the tower side fittings, forming a complete force-bearing and insulation channel of "ground wire - ground wire side fittings - core rod / shed assembly - tower side fittings - tower".
[0038] The calculation method for the induced voltage on the ground wire is based on Maxwell's potential coefficient method, and the coupling coefficient k is calculated as follows: (1) in, This is the spatial distance between the phase wire and the ground wire; is the distance between the mirror images of the phase line and the ground line; h is the average height of the conductor above ground; r is the conductor radius.
[0039] After obtaining the coupling coefficient, we can calculate the induced voltage on the ground wire using the coupling coefficient. .
[0040] (2) in, This represents the maximum voltage on the overhead line.
[0041] Then, the required creepage distance for the insulator is calculated. .
[0042] (3) in, For the required minimum total creepage distance, The creepage distance is measured in mm / kV and is determined by the pollution level of the line.
[0043] According to IEC 60815, the commonly used creepage distance requirements are listed in Table 1 below. Table 1 Commonly Used Creepage Distance Ratios Subsequently, the relevant insulator product manuals were consulted to calculate the minimum number of insulator discs N required.
[0044] (4) in, This indicates the creepage distance of a single insulator, which is generally between 400mm and 450mm. This means rounding x up.
[0045] Specifically, the lightning current discharge module mainly consists of zinc oxide surge arresters. Once an overvoltage occurs on the ground wire, the surge arrester is quickly triggered to discharge current and protect the overhead line. In this invention, the DC reference voltage of the ZnO varistor in the zinc oxide surge arrester... for: (5) in, This represents the maximum effective value of the continuous power frequency voltage that may occur on the ground wire. For safety, a factor of 3 to 4 is generally chosen. Simultaneously, the surge arrester should use ZnO varistors with the lowest possible residual voltage to better limit overvoltage.
[0046] Specifically, the safety monitoring module is designed to address the potential aging of surge arresters. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the surge arresters in real time to ensure that they can be triggered at the set voltage. At the same time, the residual voltage after triggering can ensure the safe operation of the line. It includes a leakage current wireless monitoring unit, an RFID temperature tag unit, and an analysis unit.
[0047] To further monitor the status of surge arresters in real time, this invention can connect a milliammeter in series with the grounding down conductor or install a wireless leakage current monitoring unit to monitor its resistive current. Once an abnormal increase in leakage current is detected, an early warning can be issued, and maintenance can be scheduled. Simultaneously, RFID temperature tags are installed on the external hardware of the surge arrester to measure its operating temperature in real time, serving as a basis for judging its thermal stability.
[0048] The leakage current wireless monitoring unit acquires the full current waveform by connecting a high-precision current sensor in series at the grounding lead of the surge arrester, and simultaneously acquires a reference voltage signal from the operating line. It then uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to perform vector operations on the fundamental component, comparing the phase difference between the current and voltage to accurately separate the resistive current component that is in phase with the voltage from the full current. (For example, if the FFT calculates the fundamental voltage vector as U∠0° and the fundamental current vector as I∠θ°, then the resistive current component is Icosθ.) The RFID temperature tag unit adopts a passive UHF design. It is tightly attached to the surface of the surge arrester's metal flange with a high-temperature resistant adhesive. The radio frequency signal emitted by the RFID reader installed on the tower provides energy to activate its built-in temperature sensor to perform measurement. The measured temperature data is wirelessly transmitted back to the reader via backscatter modulation technology, and then uploaded to the monitoring system, thereby realizing direct, passive, and wireless measurement of the surge arrester's operating temperature.
[0049] The leakage current monitoring method involves installing a wireless leakage current monitoring unit at the grounding down conductor to monitor the total current and resistive current components of the surge arrester in real time. The wireless monitoring unit collects data through a current sensor and transmits the data to the backend monitoring system using LoRa communication technology.
[0050] The status assessment of leakage current is based on its absolute value and trend. An alarm threshold for leakage current is set at 150% of the initial value. When the resistive current exceeds 50% of the initial value, the system issues a warning; when it exceeds 100%, immediate maintenance is recommended. Simultaneously, the monitoring system analyzes historical data. If the daily average leakage current continues to rise for seven consecutive days, with a cumulative increase exceeding 35%, it is determined that immediate maintenance is required. However, if the monitored current amplitude rises sharply from the normal level (mA level) to over 1A within 0.1μs to 1ms, and then decays back down, this event is considered a lightning strike event and not a fault.
[0051] The temperature monitoring method is as follows: RFID temperature tags are installed on the external hardware of the surge arrester to measure its operating temperature in real time. The RFID temperature tag has a built-in temperature sensor that collects temperature data every minute and transmits it to the monitoring system through an RFID reader (installed on the tower).
[0052] Temperature status assessment is based on the relative value of the surge arrester temperature to the ambient temperature and the fluctuation value of the surge arrester temperature. During periods without surge arrester discharge records (hereinafter referred to as steady state), an alarm is issued when the surface temperature of the surge arrester exceeds the ambient temperature by 30°C; simultaneously, temperature fluctuations are monitored, and if the temperature change rate exceeds 10°C in any hour, the thermal stability of the surge arrester is checked. If the daily average temperature shows a stable upward trend over 30 consecutive days, maintenance is considered necessary. When the leakage current monitoring module detects a lightning current discharge event, the system activates the transient temperature monitoring mode. In this mode, a significant temperature increase is allowed within 15 minutes after the action. However, if the temperature fails to recover to the acceptable temperature range during steady state within one hour after the action ends, immediate maintenance is considered required.
[0053] Therefore, this invention provides a ground wire tension insulator that suppresses induced current and prevents sparking, comprising an insulation support module, a lightning current discharge module, and a safety monitoring module. The insulation support module bears mechanical tension and provides electrical insulation; the lightning current discharge module is a zinc oxide surge arrester connected in parallel across the tension insulator to quickly conduct and discharge current when the ground wire is struck by lightning; the safety monitoring module monitors the arrester's status in real time. The core of this invention lies in replacing the traditional parallel discharge gap with a surge arrester, which suppresses induced current and discharges lightning current without generating spark discharge under induced voltage, thus solving the problem of public panic and complaints caused by sparking discharge in existing ground wire tension insulator gaps.
[0054] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The ground wire tension insulator for suppressing induced current and preventing arcing as described in claim 9, characterized in that, The step of comparing the operating temperature data with the ambient temperature at the corresponding time, and evaluating the operating status of the zinc oxide surge arrester based on the comparison results and temperature fluctuations of the operating temperature data, includes: The operating temperature data is compared with the ambient temperature at the corresponding time. When the temperature difference between the operating temperature data and the ambient temperature at the corresponding time is greater than the preset temperature difference threshold, the operating state of the zinc oxide surge arrester is determined to be unstable and a corresponding alarm signal is generated. If the temperature change rate of the operating temperature data exceeds the preset temperature change rate threshold in any hour, or if the daily average temperature of the operating temperature data shows a stable upward trend within a preset number of consecutive days, the operating state of the zinc oxide surge arrester is determined to be unstable and a corresponding alarm signal is generated.
