Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a lightning arrester technical field, concretely relates to a high gradient transmission line lightning arrester. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of power system, 500kV transmission line has become the backbone network frame of our country. However, the transmission line passes through the complex terrain such as mountainous area, hilly area frequently, is vulnerable to lightning, and seriously threatens the safe and stable operation of power grid. According to statistics, in the past 10 years, the lightning fault of 500kV AC transmission line of power grid has occurred more than 1000 times, and the systematic lightning protection work is urgent.

[0003] At present, installing line lightning arrester is one of the most effective measures to prevent transmission line lightning trip. But the application of existing lightning arrester faces many severe technical challenges: (1) heavy structure, large installation load. The structure size of existing 500kV lightning arrester is long, and the volume and weight are large, and the installation support structure designed for it is complex, which brings significant additional mechanical load to the tower, and puts forward higher requirements for the structural strength of the tower. (2) installation space is limited, and electrode ring is difficult to fix. 500kV transmission line generally adopts 4 split conductors, when the lightning arrester is installed near the tower head, there is a great tension between the split conductors, and the commonly used spacer rod is difficult to install reliably, which leads to the difficulty in fixing the electrode ring, and a large angle deviation is easy to occur, which affects the protection performance and operation reliability of the lightning arrester. (3) unable to realize full-phase protection, and there is a lightning protection dead zone. Limited by the narrow space arrangement between the conductors of compact line and multi-circuit line on the same tower, due to the limitation of volume and installation mode, the installation of existing lightning arrester is only limited to the lower phase or simple single-circuit line, and cannot be installed and applied on the middle and upper phase conductors, which cannot provide full-phase lightning protection for the entire transmission line, so that the lightning hazard problem cannot be effectively solved for a long time.

[0004] In summary, the existing 500kV AC line lightning arrester has inherent defects in structure design, installation process and applicability, which seriously restricts the comprehensive popularization and application, and makes it difficult to establish a systematic lightning protection system. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a 500kV high gradient AC line lightning arrester with compact structure, miniaturization, light weight and convenient installation, to solve the technical bottleneck of existing technology and realize the full-range and dead-zone-free lightning protection of transmission line.
