Experimental Research of the Overvoltage in the Insulated Neutral Network

Abstract

The isolated neutral network isolation resistance is often affected by the lightning discharge surge to the line cables or towers. Several overvoltage waves are maid at the moment of the lightning discharge surge. It is dangerous for the devices because at the very short time period the isolation of the device is affected by the surge impact twice or even more. The analysis of the experimentally registered lightning discharge induced overvoltage transients effect from the lightning influence to the power line till the power line disconnection were analyzed in this work. Estimation of the overvoltage characteristics to the isolation resistance was made.
