May i know when operating the 11kV OR 33kV Air Break Isolator from ground how to determine which class of insulation glove to wear for the safety protection. Reply 8. Moorthi says: July 26, 2012 at 9:48 am Dear sir. I am Electrical sr engineer.we using 11KV/0.415KV substation for construction supply. 1.There four substations in various area.when we charging the transformers one bye first time no any problem.but next day we are charging the transformers.first transformer will charging with any problem but we go charge the second trans that incoming surge arrest er will burst. 2.what is reason sure arrester will burst. Reply Jignesh.Parmar says: July 26, 2012 at 5:17 pm I have observed following possibility in past for blasting of LA at DP structure. (1) May be Phase to ground Fault ( May be touch branches of tree with phase in distribution Line) (2) Failure of PIN Insulator of Distribution Line (3) wrong connection of LA (You face problem while charging System so Recheck LA connection with Ground) (4) Due to heavy Lighting Strock. (5) Fault in HT/LT Cable. (6) Selection of wrong size of LA. Reply 9. Sivakumar says: August 20, 2012 at 10:03 am Halo Jignesh,

as part of my job, i would like to verify space adequacy of HVDC substation. can you please clarify below points. Thanks, (1) what is the clearance to be followed for 400 kV HVDC substation? (2) for indoor substation, is it sufficient to consider phase-ground, phase-phase and section clearances (i.e. ground clerances not considered) only? will it be enough to maintain adequate creepage distance between phase and ground & phase-phase if the live conductors are beyond the reach of working personnel? (3) Is there any specific earthing design to be followed for HVDC substation? Reply 10. Vijay Kumar Harsh says: August 25, 2012 at 11:00 am Dear Jignesh Thank you very much for such a nice updated details provided by you on this blog. Er Vijay Kumar Harsh Project Manager ,Yemen Reply
