HV System

The power systems engineers is interested in high voltages primarily for power transmission, and secondly for testing of his equipment used in power transmission in laboratory High voltage can be obtained locally from power generating plant through the use of solid state In many testing laboratories, the primary source of power is at low voltage (400 V three phase or 230 V single phase, at 50 Hz). From which high voltage can be obtained On board ship the same technology can be used to use high voltage Laboratory test are aimed to design the required high voltage Since insulation is usually being tested, the impedances involved are extremely high (order of M ohm and the currents small (less than an ampere). High voltage testing does not usually require high power. Thus special methods may be used which are not applicable when generating high voltage in high power applications. LIM/EHV/March 2007

Solid State Switching Principle •

In the field of electrical eng. & applied physics, high voltages are required for several applications As: -a power supply (eg. hv dc) for the equipments such as electron microscope and x-ray machine. -Required for testing power apparatus – insulation testing. -High impulse voltages are required for testing purposes to simulate over voltages due to lightning and switching. • Sometimes, high direct voltages are needed in insulation test on cables and capacitors. Impulse generator charging units also require high dc voltages of about 100-200kV. • Normally for the generation of dc voltages of up to 100kV, electronics valve rectifiers are used and the output currents are about 100mA. The rectifier valves require special construction for cathode and filaments since a high electrostatic field of several kV/cm exists between the anode and cathode in the non-conduction period. • The ac supply to the rectifier tubes maybe of power frequency or maybe of audo frequency from an oscillator. The latter is used when a ripple of very small magnitude is required without the use of costly filters to smoothen the ripple. HV System

The rectifier can be an electron tube or a solid state devices. Nowadays, single electron tubes are available for peak inverse voltages up to 250kV and semiconductor or solid state diodes up to 250kV.

For higher voltages, several units are to be used in series. When a number of units are used in series, transient voltage distribution along each unit becomes non-uniform and special care should be taken to make the distribution uniform.

Voltage Multiplier Circuits • Both full-wave as well as half-wave circuits can produce a maximum direct voltage corresponding to the peak value of the alternating voltage. • When higher voltages are required voltage multiplier circuits are used. The common circuits are the voltage double circuit • Used for higher voltages. • Generate very high dc voltage from single supply transformer by extending the simple voltage doubler circuit.

The voltage doubler circuit makes use of the positive and the negative half cycles to charge two different capacitors. These are then connected in series aiding to obtain double the direct voltage output. Figure shows a voltage doubler circuit.



In this case, the transformer will be of small rating that for the same direct voltage rating with only simple rectification. Further for the same direct voltage output the peak inverse voltage of the diodes will be halved.

High Alternating Voltages • Required in laboratories and a.c. tests as well as for the • circuit of high d.c. and impulse voltage. • Test transformer are generally used. • Single transformer test units are made for high alternating voltages up to about 200 kV. • However, for high voltages to reduce the cost (insulation cost increases rapidly with voltage) and make transportation easier, a cascade arrangement of several transformers is used. • For higher voltage requirement, series connection or cascading of the several identical units of transformer is applied.

Cascade arrangement of transformers • A typical cascade arrangement of transformers used to obtain up to 300 kV from three units each rated at 100 kV insulation. The low voltage winding is connected to the primary of the first transformer, and this is connected to the transformer tank which is earthed. • One end of the high voltage winding is also earthed through the tank. • The high voltage end and a tapping near this end is taken out at the top of the transformer through a bushing, and forms the primary of the second transformer. • One end of this winding is connected to the tank of the second transformer to maintain the tank at high voltage. • The secondary of this transformer too has one end connected to the tank and at the other end the next cascaded transformer is fed.

Cascade arrangement of transformers • This cascade arrangement can be continued further if a still higher voltage is required. • In the cascade arrangement shown, each transformer needs only to be insulated for 100 kV, and hence the transformer can be relatively small. If a 300 kV transformer had to be used instead, the size would be massive. High voltage transformers for testing purposes are designed purposely to have a poor regulation. • This is to ensure that when the secondary of the transformer is short circuited (as will commonly happen in flash-over tests of insulation), the current would not increase to too high a value and to reduce the cost. In practice, an additional series resistance (commonly a water resistance) is also used in such cases to limit the current and prevent possible damage to the transformer. HV System

What is shown in the cascade transformer arrangement is the basic principle involved. The actual arrangement could be different for practical reasons. In the cascade arrangement shown, each transformer needs only to be insulated for 100 kV, and hence the transformer can be relatively small. If a 300 kV transformer had to be used instead, the size would be massive. High voltage transformers for testing purposes are designed purposely to have a poor regulation.

Impulse High Voltage • Impulse voltages (IVs) are required in hv tests to simulate the stresses due to external and internal overvoltages, and also for fundamental investigations of the breakdown mechanisms. • Usually generated by discharging hv capacitors through switching gaps onto a network of resistors and capacitors. • In hv technology, a single, unipolar voltage is termed an impulse voltage. • Rectangular and wedge-shaped IVs are normally used for basic experiments while for testing purposes, double exponential IVs are used. • Standard test of impulse voltages can be represented as double exponential wave, and its mathematical equation is defined as follows; V = Vo [exp(-αt) – exp(-βt)] Where α and β are constants of microsecond values.
