Insulation Coordination is a designing criteria for any electrical equipment which enables the design of an insulation for the equipment in such a way that it minimizes interruptions during steady state conditions and also minimizes damages in case of transient over voltages and this is done economically.

Insulation coordination of Ultra high voltage (UHV) system plays a vital role as the voltages in UHV are in the order of 1200 kV hence during faults when the voltage rises up to 7 p.u. the equipment under consideration can undergo heavy damages. To prevent these effects from happening and to understand the intensity of these effects these faults are simulated in ATP EMTP and its effects are observed and presented here. According the data obtained protection device are used to mitigate the overvoltages to acceptable Basic Lightning Impulse Insulation Level (BIL) and Basic Switching Impulse Insulation Level (BSL) ratings of the given transmission system.
