- Insulation Coordination Study in Scotland
Insulation Coordination is a strategic process designed to align the insulation levels of substation equipment with protective devices like surge arresters. It assesses overvoltages caused by events such as cable switching, fault clearing, and capacitor bank operations to determine the correct rating and location of protective components. This approach helps safeguard equipment from transient overvoltage stresses, enhancing system longevity and performance.
Our Insulation Coordination Studies follow international guidelines, including IEC 60071 and IEEE standards. The network is carefully modeled to incorporate all relevant parameters, such as stray capacitance values, to ensure accurate simulations. Our analysis considers:
Switching Transients: Evaluating voltage spikes during conductor energization and transformer operations.
Lightning Impulse Analysis: Determining the system’s resilience to lightning strikes.
Surge Arrester Sizing & Placement: Optimizing protection device specifications for maximum effectiveness.
Fault Events: Assessing equipment response to fault application and clearing
Whether you’re designing a new substation, upgrading existing systems, or looking to improve fault resilience, SEN EDS is your trusted partner for Insulation Coordination Studies in the Scotland.
