Breakdown Characteristics of Long Air Gap at Different Frequency Based on Series Resonance

Abstract

Abstract In today’s rapid economic development, with the development of science and technology, higher requirements have been put forward in the economic operation of the system. This requires various departments to make more reasonable use of existing energy and equipment, and to ensure quality. Meet all aspects of supply with more energy-saving and more economical operation methods. Therefore, more and more attention has been paid to the research on the method of predicting the breakdown voltage of the air gap. Although domestic and foreign scholars have used power frequency test transformers to carry out a large number of long air gap experimental researches, the research on the breakdown voltage of long air gaps based on the principle of vector machines is still blank. In this paper, a vector machine test device is used to study the breakdown discharge characteristics of a long air gap at two frequencies of 229Hz and 68Hz. Comparing the test phenomena at different frequencies, it is found that the initial discharge voltage of the streamer corona is lower when the frequency is 229Hz, and the discharge phenomenon before breakdown is more intense, and the quality factor will be significantly reduced due to the violent discharge. At the same time, under the same test conditions, the breakdown voltage at 229Hz is lower than that at 68Hz, and as the air gap increases, the difference between the two is greater. The experimental results show that the breakdown voltage of the long air gap based on the vector machine is different when the frequency is different, and the safety distance of the field withstand voltage test should be evaluated according to the experimental data under the vector machine condition to ensure the safety of the test.
