Secondary arc in hybrid AC DC overhead lines872

Abstract
This presentation covers a specific issue related to hybrid AC / DC overhead transmission lines: the extinction of the secondary arc current of a faulted DC pole. As a result of a pole-to-ground fault... see more, breaker openings interrupt the short-circuit current. Because of the inductive and capacitive coupling between the AC circuit and the faulted pole, a small AC current (a few 10ths Amps) keeps flowing in the fault. This current is known as the secondary arc current and it may disappear after some time.

Switching of Inductive Currents and Dimensioning of RC-Snubbers with PAMSUITE846

Abstract
In order to control the voltage in distribution and transmission networks shunt reactors can be used for compensation of reactive power. Due to the switching of their inductive currents, unacceptable ... see moreswitching transient voltages might occur which can lead to damage of equipment. Furthermore, the breaker must be able to withstand the transient recovery voltage (TRV), amplitude and rate of rise (RRRV) respectively. One possibility to mitigate these switching transients are so-called RC Snubbers. They have to be dimensioned according to the topology and the values of R and C can be optimized with the PAMSUITE tool. In this presentation the modelling and the results of the TRV due to shunt reactor switching is discussed and the mitigation with RC Snubbers with the help of PAMSUITE is shown.
