Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lightning arrester of direct current transmission line, specifically is a device that improves lightning resistance of direct current transmission tower. BACKGROUND

[0002] High voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) is a kind of technology for high-power long-distance transmission by using stable direct current.Due to the influence of inductive reactance and capacitive reactance of direct current and the absence of synchronization problem, HVDC has significant advantages in aspects such as connection between submarine cable transmission and asynchronous operation of alternating current system; the basic working principle of HVDC is to rectify three-phase alternating current into direct current through a converter station, and then send to another converter station to invert into three-phase alternating current.This mode is mainly composed of two converter stations and direct current transmission lines, and is suitable for scenarios where overhead lines are more than 600-800km and cable lines are more than 40-60km.

[0003] Extra-high voltage direct current transmission line has a transmission distance of more than 1000km, even up to 3000km.The line often passes through difficult traffic areas, has high altitude, complex and changeable geological and meteorological conditions, and has a great impact on the safe operation of the transmission line.In recent years, the transmission line often suffers from extreme weather such as strong wind, icing and lightning, and there are also unmanned sections such as high mountains and large ridges, and the operation and maintenance environment is extremely poor.

[0004] When lightning strikes, due to the protection of the ground wire, the ground wire forms a shielding arc, and as the amplitude of lightning current increases, the ground wire shielding arc gradually expands and the conductor exposed arc will eventually disappear, at this time the corresponding lightning current is the maximum shielding current.According to the accident line, due to the large amplitude of lightning back striking the tower, the air gap between the conductor and the horizontal tower body is broken down, resulting in line grounding fault.Obviously, the ground wire at this time cannot provide good protection to the conductor.Summarizing the extra-high voltage direct current line struck by lightning and caused grounding fault, when the large amplitude of lightning strikes the tower, the ground wire cannot form a shielding arc, resulting in lightning breakdown of the air gap between the conductor and the horizontal tower body.
