ha = 18.5 m

D = 155 m

Since (2/3) h = 18.33>9 and h <30 m

rx = 1.5 x 27.5 x ( 1-(9/(.8 x 27.5)))

= 24.38 m

Distance between LM1 & LM2 = 22.874 m

Allowable Distance between two LM's S = 7 * ha * P m

= 136 m

The distance between the LMs and the diagonal distance are with in calculated values of S and D
respectvely Hence Safe

Protective radius rx = 24.38

Distance between LM1 & LM3, LM4 & LM6 s = 22.874 m

Midway point protective height between two LM's ho1 = h - S / 7P

= 24.23 m

Midway point protective distance between two LM's b1x = 1.5 * ho (1-hx / 0.8 h0)*p ; If , hx <= (2/3)h
0.75 * ho (1-hx / h0)*p ; If , hx > (2/3)h

= 19.47 m

Distance between LM1 & LM6, LM3 & LM4 s = #REF! m

Midway point protective height between two LM's ho2 = h - S / 7P m

= #REF! m

Midway point protective distance between two LM's b2x = 1.5 * ho (1-hx / 0.8 h0)*p ; If , hx <= (2/3)h
0.75 * ho (1-hx / h0)*p ; If , hx > (2/3)h

V Conclusion:
The Proctective distances are rx and bx1&bx2 are marked in the DSLP layout Drawing no .CG /189-006 . It may be noted
that the 400KV and 220 KV Switchyard area is protected from direct stroke lightining by Shield wire and LM s

As per the 220 kV Switchyard Layout

1 The Maximum Distance between Two Lightning Masts = 22.87 m

2 The Maximum Diagonal Distance between two Lightning Masts = 152.00 m

Whereas as per the above calculation

1 The Maximum allowable Distance between Two Lightning Masts = 184.00 m

2 The Maximum allowable Diagonal Distance between two Lightning Masts = 210.00 m
Hence Safe

DSLP CALCULATION FOR 400 kV SWITCHYARD

DETERMINATION OF PROTECTIVE ZONE COVERED BY G.I SHIELD WIRE

Reference: High Voltage Engineering by Prof. V.Razevig

400 kV Switchyard:

Data:

Height of Shield Wire h = 29.5 m

Distance between Shield wires S = 24 m

4
Equipment Bus Height = 8m

Main Bus Height = 15 m

Jack Bus Height = 22 m

Height of Equipment to be protected hx = 22 m

(Jack Bus)

NOTE: All the heights has been taken from plinth level
If the distance between two ground wires is S and h is the height of shield wire, the point situated
midway between the ground wires at a level of

S
ho  h  m
4
will be protected from Lightning strokes.
Where
ho = Midway point protective height in m
h = Height of shield wire in m
S = Distance between two Earth wires in m

Midway point Protective height is

ho = h-S/4

= 23.5 m -------- (1)

The height of the bus bar(Jack bus) to be protected is at 22 m which is less than the
value of calculated Protective height of 23.5 m.

Hence Safe

Protective Distance(bx)

At level hx>(2/3)h

bx = 0.6 h x (1-hx/h)

At level hx<(2/3)h

bx = 1.2 h x (1-hx/0.8 x h)

so

bx = 4.5

Hence the S/S Equipments are protected by Shield wire are cas indicated

DSLP CALCULATION FOR AREA BETWEEN 400KV & 220 KV SWITCHYARD

DETERMINATION OF PROTECTIVE ZONE COVERED BY G.I SHIELD WIRE

Reference: High Voltage Engineering by Prof. V.Razevig

400 / 220 kV, TRANSFORMER SIDE

Data:

Height of Shield wire h = 21.2 m

Distance between Shield wire S = 16.0 m

Jack Bus Height = 16.2 m

Equipment Bus Height = 8.0 m

Height of Bus to be Protected hx = 8.0 m

If the distance between two ground wires S < 4h the point situated midway between the
ground wires at a level of

S
ho  h  m
4

will be protected from Lightning strokes.

Where
ho = Midway point protective height in m
h = Height of shield wire in m
S = Distance between two Earth wires in m

Midway point Protective height is

ho = h- S/4

= 17.2 m

The height of the bus bar to be protected is at 16.2 m which is less than the
value of calculated Protective height of 17.2 m.

Hence Transformer, LA, Isolators are protected.

Protective Distance(bx)

At level hx>(2/3)h

bx = 0.6 h x (1-hx/h)

At level hx<(2/3)h

bx = 1.2 h x (1-hx/0.8 x h)

when h1x= 16.2 and h= 21.2

then b1x = 3

and when h2x= 8 and h= 21.2

b2x = 13.44

Hence the S/S Equipments are protected by Shield wire are as indicated
in DSLP Layout - CG/189-006
