Design and Verification of VFTO Differentiating-Integrating Measurement Equivalent Circuit

Abstract

Operation of isolating switches and circuit breakers in fully enclosed gas insulated substations (GIS) produces very fast transient overvoltage (VFTO). According to IEC61321-1, VFTO contains four frequency components with frequencies ranging from 0.1?MHz to 100?MHz. Therefore, the VFTO measurement system needs to have good transient response and steady state response and puts high requirements on the measurement frequency band. As a measurement method that does not need to modified GIS, the differentiating-integrating measurement system has the characteristics of high frequency bandwidth and high voltage divider ratio. In this paper, the theoretical derivation and numerical calculation of the equivalent circuit of differentiating-integrating measurement are carried out, and the simulation of time domain, frequency domain and synthetic VFTO waveform as excitation source was constructed, and its performance is fully verified, which proves that this system can meet the needs of VFTO measurement.
