Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the petrochemical industry, the power distribution system for some high-voltage motors in gas gathering stations is installed inside the compressor skid-mounted housing, with high-voltage transmission lines directly connected to the incoming power distribution cabinet of the skid-mounted housing. Extreme weather events such as severe lightning strikes can cause grid fluctuations, triggering the protection circuitry of the skid-mounted power supply lines to trip and resulting in insulation damage to the corresponding compressor motors in the skid-mounted housing.
[0003] Since lightning surges reach peak values in the microsecond range, while the current skid-mounted power supply and distribution system's microprocessor-based protection instantaneous tripping time and circuit breaker tripping time are in the millisecond range, with a total tripping time of approximately 80 milliseconds, the microprocessor-based protection cannot clear the lightning current in time, which can easily cause instantaneous insulation breakdown of the compressor motor, seriously affecting equipment operation.
