Abstract

A combustion flame under the overhead power lines may be caused by breakdown disturbances in power systems. In this study, experiments were conducted for the purpose of investigating the reduction in insulation strength caused by combustion flame and the shape changes of the flame, and flashover characteristics and extinction phenomena of the flame in the simulated conditions of overhead power lines were examined under the application of a.c. and d.c. high-voltages. As the results of the experimental investigation, it is demonstrated that flame can remarkably reduce breakdown voltages of the air-gap in shorter range of the gap distance. As the gap distance increases, flame was quenched, before the flashover, by corona wind generated from the needle electrodes.

가공전력선이 통과하는 지역에서 발생된 연소화염은 계통 섬락사고의 원인이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연소화염에 의한 전력선의 절연내력 저하특성과 화염의 형상변화를 알아보기 위해, 직류 및 교류 전압 인가시 전력선을 모의한 대기압 공기 갭에 대한 섬락특성과 화염의 소화특성을 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 화염에 의한 섬락현상은 비교적 작은 갭에서 발생되었으며, 수평배치형 침대침 갭에서 교류 섬락전압의 상대값은 평균 37.3[%]인 것으로 나타나 화염이 없는 경우에 비해 크게 저하하였다. 갭 길이가 증가함에 따라 전극간 섬락이 발생되기 전에 침전극로부터 발생된 코로나풍에 의해 화염은 소화되는 현상이 나타났다.
