Presenation ON: Insulation Cordination AND Insualtion Level of Substation Equipment

This presentation discusses insulation coordination and insulation levels of substation equipment. It covers two types of insulation coordination: line insulation coordination which involves distribution and transmission lines, and station insulation coordination which involves generation, transmission, and distribution substations. The goals of each type of insulation coordination are outlined, such as clearance between conductors, insulator string length, and protection from overvoltages. Basic impulse insulation levels are also discussed, which refer to the ability of electric equipment like transformers to withstand lightning surges and switching surges. A BIL rating indicates the maximum transient overvoltage a transformer can withstand.

Basic Impulse Insulation

Levels (BIL)

> The Basic Impulse Insulation Levels refers

to the ability of electric equipment such
as transformers to withstand lightning surges.
When lightning strikes a transmission line,
a traveling wave is created.
This traveling wave travels along the line
and damages the transformer winding.

Surge arresters mounted on the line can

reduce the surge, however they
cannot totally eliminate it.Voltage surges
can also be created by the switching of
circuit breakers and switches.
> The BIL or the Basic Impulse Insulation
level indicates the ability of the transformer
to withstand these heavy surges.
Transformers with a rating of 600 volts
and below are designed to have
a BIL of 10 kV.
