Abstract:Taking a 500 kV GIS substation as the research object and regarding the whole substation and outgoing line as an integral,the lightning intruding surge simulation model for various electric equipment is established with the electromagnetic transient simulation program ( ATP - EMTP) ,while the simulation model of arrester is optimized in order to satisfy the real operation characteristics. The real situation of GIS inner lightning intruding surge is gained by simulating different operating modes. The different lightning intruding surge waveforms are compared and analyzed as well as their effects. The accuracy of the model is verified by comparing with the real measured lightning intruding surge waveform.
