Factors Of Pollution Flash Discharge
Since the atmospheric pressure is low in a high-altitude environment, discharge is very easy to occur, and the arc is thick. After the AC crosses zero, the circuit is very prone to discharge, and the arc is easy to re-ignite and is difficult to extinguish. Therefore, the insulation of power transmission and transformation equipment operating at high altitude and low pressure should be strengthened. Its influence must be fully considered when calculating insulation coordination, and the pollution lightning voltage should be appropriately increased. Generally, when the altitude is above 3000 m, the pollution voltage value should be considered to be increased by about 25% accordingly. ...
