Abstract:
The existing voltage arc-suppression methods have the problem which is without taking account of the arc-suppression effect of distribution networks line impedance and load current. It would lead to the large residual current at the fault point when the low resistance grounding fault occurs, and the arc-suppression effect is not good. This paper analyzes the three-sequence networks when single-phase-to-ground fault occurs in three-phase insulation parameters imbalance of distribution networks. The influence of line impedance and load current on the effect of existing voltage arc-suppression method is studied, and propose a flexible voltage arc-suppression method considering the influence of line impedance and load. This method calculates the reference value of zero-sequence voltage which can suppress fault point voltage to zero and equivalent impedance value of fault line by adjusting the zero sequence voltage twice. The reference value of zero sequence voltage is compared with the three-phase power supply voltage in distribution networks, and the ground fault phase is selected. The reference value of zero-sequence voltage is adjusted according to the equivalent impedance value of fault line. In the case of a low-resistance ground fault, the voltage and current of the fault point are simultaneously suppressed to zero, reducing the damage to the insulating medium, thereby ensuring the reliable extinguishment of the fault arc; in the case of medium and high resistance ground faults, the fault point voltage is suppressed below the arc reignition voltage, reducing the risk of damage to the circuit insulation which is caused by long-term overvoltage operation of the non-fault phase. The simulation verifies that the method can achieve good arc suppression effect for single-phase grounding fault under any fault point and transition resistance, and the accuracy of phase selection is high. © 2022, Power System Technology Press.
