the frequently happening of mountain fire has brought a great threat to the safe and stable operation of power grid. Mountain fire will cause the insulation strength of overhead transmission line gap to decrease significantly
resulting in line tripping
line shutdown and other serious accidents. So a "rod-rod" electrode air gap discharge model is designed
the air gap insulation breakdown test of the "rod-rod" model is carried out
and the influence of flame
temperature and smoke on gap insulation is studied. The results show that the flame height and temperature have a great influence on the gap breakdown characteristics
and the temperature is the decisive factor affecting the gap breakdown characteristics. The research results can provide a reference for the prevention of mountain fire tripping accidents in transmission lines.
