Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

This standard applies to composite sheathed metal oxide arresters for AC overhead transmission and distribution lines above 1kV, with a focus on regulating two types of structures:

TypeStructural characteristicsKey parametersTypical applications
Non-gap arresters (NGLA) Directly parallel line insulators Continuous operating voltage ≤43.2kV (35kV system) Important lines of 110kV and above
Electronic gap arresters (EGLA) Including external series air gap Lightning impulse residual voltage ≤280kV (110kV system) Multiple lightning areas, high-altitude lines

Major technical upgrades of the 2021 version

Compared with the 2012 version of the standard, this revision highlights the following innovations:

  1. Voltage level expansion: New 750kV/1000kV lightning arrester technical parameters, residual voltage requirements ≤1490kV/2150kV respectively
  2. Test method optimization: Cancel the 2kA square wave impulse requirement, and add a repeated transfer charge test (see the table below for typical values)
  3. Stability enhancement: New long-term stability and heat dissipation characteristics tests for gapless lightning arresters

Key Performance Indicators Comparison

Electrical Parameter Requirements

  • Residual voltage characteristics: Residual voltage ≤310kV at nominal discharge current (10kA) of 110kV gapless arrester
  • Reference voltage: DC 1mA reference voltage needs to be ≥130kV (110kV system with gap arrester body)
  • Partial discharge: ≤10pC at 1.05 times continuous operating voltage

Mechanical performance requirements

Test itemsGapless arresterGap arrester
Rated tensile load≥15 times its own weightExempt for bracket installation
Vibration testNot requiredNeeded for 500kV and above

Implementation suggestions

Selection guide

  1. In areas with frequent lightning, it is advisable to use gap arresters with supports, and the gap distance tolerance must be controlled within ±5%
  2. For lines of 750kV and above, products with a nominal discharge current of more than 20kA should be selected

Operation and maintenance points

TypeDetection cycleKey items
Non-gap typeBefore the thunderstorm season every yearDC 1mA voltage change rate ≤5%
Gap typeEvery 2 yearsGap distance inspection, counter record

Note: 1000kV arrester should additionally check the steep wave withstand performance of the support (± polarity 5 times 1000kV/μs impact)
