Voltage-current characteristic of a MO surge arrester for 1200 kV AC power system

• Experience in Double Side Break Disconnectors for UHV application
• - Double side break ZBF 800 kV AC in service in Ucraine
• - Double side break ZBF 515 kV DC in service in China
• - Double side break ZBF 824 kV DC installation in China

Double Side Break design advantages for 1200 kV AC application

- high reliability due to the reduced number of moving parts

in the kinematic chain and in the current path

- well proven turn and twist design of the current path

- space savings in the vertical dimension due to the current path

movement only in the horizontal direction

Wuhan UHV AC testing base

• UHV substations are important node-points in the power supply and distribution with a need of high reliability and high availability.
• Standards for the UHV level are under consideration, but not available today.
• The switchgear systems and equipment presented here for UHV are tailor made to the customers needs.
• A simple copying and scaling up from the system levels below is not always possible for the dimensions and parameters,
• but the basic knowledge of technologies and designs can be adapted from the experience with 800 kV DC systems and with 800 kV and 1100 kV AC systems.
