Research work on audible noise emitted from overhead line conductors is reviewed, and a unique experimental set up employing a semi-anechoic chamber and corona cage is described. Acoustically, this facility isolates undesirable background noise and provides a free-field test space inside the anechoic chamber. Electrically, the corona cage simulates a 3 m section of 400 kV overhead line conductors...
If not well designed, high voltage composite insulators are prone to ageing and failure due to corona and electric field stress. Particular care is required designing areas where the metal end connections meet the insulator core, otherwise a large electric field enhancement is observed. It is difficult to completely eradicate corona on any insulator, thus manufacturers try and minimise this phenomenon...
The use of composite insulators for overhead transmission lines has increased in the past decade. Various designs and models are now available for a wide range of voltages. The 3D Finite Element Analysis electric field distribution of such composite insulators has been of considerable interest due to its differences to ‘conventional’ glass or ceramic insulators. Results of such analysis are now widely...
The dynamic behaviour of water droplets subject to AC electric fields is investigated by experiment and finite element modelling. The motion of a water droplet is considered on the surface of a metallic sphere. To understand the consequences of vibration, the FEA model is introduced to study the dynamics of a single droplet in terms of phase shift between vibration and exciting voltage. Moreover,...
The surface potential gradient is a critical design parameter for planning overhead lines, as it determines the level of corona loss (CL), radio interference (RI), and audible noise (AN). The majority of existing models for surface gradient calculation are based on analytical methods which restrict their application in simulating complex surface geometry. This article proposes a novel method which...
