Introduction:
The prime objective of the study is to verify adequacy of surge arresters proposed for Marassi
‐ Sidi Abdul Rahman 220/22 KV GIS Substation and to check whether sufficient protection
against fast transient overvoltages and switching overvoltages are achieved with proposed
rating and locations of surge arresters.
This report presents results of temporary over voltage, slow front over voltage, and fast
transient study. The SLD for Marassi ‐ Sidi Abdul Rahman 220/22 kv substation is shown in the
attached document. Studies were carried out using PSCAD Version 4.5.4 program.
1 The voltage stresses
Voltage stresses in the electrical systems can be classified as follows:
1. Continuous power frequency voltages vary in the power systems, and the limits are
defined in the standards.
2. Lightning (fast front) overvoltages, caused by lightning.
3. Switching (slow front) overvoltages, caused by switching.
4. Temporary overvoltages, caused by faults and load rejection.

2 Surge Arresters Sizing and Verification:

2.1 Continuous Operating Voltage Check:
Determination of arrester Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) - as per Cl.3.2.1 -

IEC-60099-5, selected MCOV of phase to earth arrester shall be greater than maximum power
frequency system voltage:

The Continuous operating voltage of phase to earth surge arresters as listed in above table-1
are more than r.m.s value of maximum rated power frequency phase voltage, so they are
accepted.
As per IEC-60099-5, cl 5.1.2, it is mentioned that the selection of transformer neutral point
SA will be only based on the rated voltage value and energy capability.
As per below checks of both rated/energy capability of 220kv and 22 kv neutral SA, they are
verified. So the standard continuous voltage which corresponding to selected rated voltage
is accepted.
 220kv Neutral SA with (108kv/86kv)(rated /continuous) voltages is accepted.
Page 5/62
 22kv NER SA with (15kv/12.9kv) (rated /continuous) voltages is accepted.
3 Temporary Overvoltage:
Determination of arrester rated voltage as per Cl.3.2.2 ‐ IEC‐60099‐5. The rated voltage of the
arrester is selected based on the temporary overvoltage in the system at the arrester location,
considering their amplitudes and their durations. These overvoltages are mainly due to load
rejection and single‐phase faults occurring in the system.
Temporary overvoltage of system should be less than capabilty temporary overvoltage (for one
second “clearing time”) of surge arrester that can be calculated as below equation‐1 :
∗ 1.19 (1)
Temporary overvoltage of system (for 0.5 second “clearing time”) of surge arrester that can be
calculated as below equation‐2 :
∗ 1.21 (2)
Above equations 1&2 are derived from below figure‐2 of HV SA manufacturer test report sheet.

4 Energy Absorption Capability Check:
The energy absorbed by the Metal Oxide Surge Arrester is estimated based on
procedure/formulas described IEC 60099‐5, clause 3.2.3.3.

4.1 Arrester of 220KV System:
Minimum absorbed energy due to transient overvoltage is arising from lightning strokes to
overhead line conductors with high insulation level or back‐flashovers close to the arrester
location can be estimated by the following formula.
2 1 ln 2 /
Where:
is the lightning impulse protection level of the arrester;
is the negative flashover voltage of the line insulation (CFO);
is the line surge impedance;
is the number of lines connected to the arrester;
is the equivalent duration of the current of a lightning flash including
first and subsequent strokes. Typical value 3 × 10–4 s.

Line Surge Impedance as per IEC‐ 60099‐4 0.5 ∗ 107 Ω
Lightning Min. Required Energy W 558.8 KJ
Min. KJ Energy per Surge KV Rating 2.61 KJ/KV
So the arrester with 10KJ/KV capability can be selected.
4.2 22kv Transformer Medium Voltage Side, 22kv Transformer Tertiary Side, BB, and
Capacitor Bank Arresters:
Minimum absorbed energy due to transient overvoltage is arising from the switching of cables
and capacitor banks with can be calculated using the following equation;

3 √2
2
Where:
C is the capacitance of the bank or the cable. That equal 60µf.
U o is the phase‐to‐earth operating voltage peak. Equal 17.96KV.
Ur is the rated voltage of the arrester (r.m.s. value). That equal 24KV.
The minimum absorbed energy in this case = 52.560KJ that equal 2.19KJ/KV, so the arrester
with 2.5KJ/KV can be selected.
Page 31/62
4.3 220kv and 22kv Transfomer Nuetral Surge Arresters:
As per IEC‐ 60099‐5, section‐5, line discharge energy absorption capability of neutral arresters
should be at least the same as required for the phase‐to‐earth arresters or higher.
220kv transformer neutral SA with 10KJ/KV capability can be selected.
22kv transformer neutral SA with 2.5KJ/KV capability can be selected.

Absorbed energy by arresters can be summarized as following.

5 Slow Front Overvoltages:
Slow front overvoltages due to switching are of particular importance for arresters protecting
equipments in Range‐II (Um>245kVrms, L‐L). Hence switching overvoltages are analyzed in the
present study for 220 kV system. Switching over voltages becomes important, increasing with
higher system voltages. Over voltage may cause flashover and serious damage to equipment
and there by endanger supply of power to users. It is essential, to prevent this by proper co‐
ordination of surge arrester with the insulation.

6 Fast Transient Phenomena:
One of the primary causes of such transient is the lightning stroke to the transmission lines or
on tower top and associated back flashovers. The lightning over voltages are caused by either
shielding failures or back flashovers of the tower insulation on the transmission lines. Both
direct stoke to the phase conductor as well as the back flashover cases are included in this
report.
6.1 Direct Strokes to Phase Conductors:
Direct strokes to the phase conductors of a shielded transmission line occur typically when
lightning strokes of low magnitude (a few kA) bypass the overhead shield wires (shielding
failure). Lightning strokes of amplitude below the critical shielding current, generally less than
20kA, can bypass the overhead shield wires and strike directly on the phase conductors. Direct
strokes to the substations are ignored usually, since the substation is perfectly shielded, via
shield wires or lightning masts near the sub‐station.
6.2 Calculation of Maximum Current, Im for Direct Lightning Stroke
The peak value of the lightning current for the direct stroke depends on the height of ground
wire and its protection angle. The current peak can be estimated according to the reference
book by Andrew R. Hileman, Insulation Coordination for Power Systems, Taylor & Francis
Group, LLC.

Figure 41:Finding Im and the perfect shielding angle
6.3 Back Flashover Stroke Current:
Back flashover occurs when lightning strikes the tower or the shield wire, and the resultant

tower top voltage is large enough to cause flashover of the line insulation from the tower to
the phase conductor. When back flashover occurs, a part of the surge current will be
transferred to the phase conductors through the arc across the insulator strings.
The distribution of negative lightning current amplitude recommended by CIGRE for lightning
statistical studies is shown in Fig 43. The probability of back flash over is based on this Graph
and explained in the following section. The formulae used for the calculations are based on

impinging lightning overvoltages, CIGRÉ Paper No. 33‐16, Paris, 1988.

6.4 Modelling of Various Elements of the Network for PSCAD:
Attachments show a model used for the PSCAD study to simulate the lightning over voltage
study.
6.4.1 Transmission line:
The transmission lines are modelled as Frequency dependent model for the transmission line
are used for the analysis.
6.4.2 Tower Model:
The steel towers are usually represented by a surge impedance and the velocity of propagation.
The tower footing resistance varies from 10 Ohms to 100 Ohms. The surge impedance of the
tower depends on the geometry of the structure. The travel time is obtained by dividing the
height of the tower by the speed of light.
The insulators are represented by voltage dependent switches in parallel with capacitors
connected between the phase conductors to the tower. The capacitors simulate the coupling
effects of conductors to the tower structure. Typical capacitance values of suspension
insulators are of the order of 80 pF/unit

Figure 44: Tower modelling.
Page 45/62
High magnitude of lightning current, which flows through the ground resistance, reduces the
resistance significantly below the low‐current values. When the gradient exceeds a critical
gradient E0, breakdown of the soil occurs. When the current increases, streamers are
generated, evaporating the soil moisture and producing arcs. Within the streamer and arcing
zones, the resistivity decreases from its original value. When the limit approaches zero, it
becomes a perfect conductor.
So we can assume the footing resistance of tower is 10 ohm as worst.
6.4.3 Power Transformer:
Power transformer is modelled by its typical capacitance recommended by ‘’Transients in
electrical systems: analysis, recognition, mitigation. J.C.Das, MC Graw Hill, 2010’’.
6.4.4 Surge Arresters:
The surge arrester is a device with nonlinear volt‐ampere characteristics used to clamp the
bus voltage to the specified limit. ‘’MODELING OF METAL OXIDE SURGE ARRESTERS, IEEE
WORKING GROUP 3.4.11, Transactions on Power Delivery, Vol. 7 No.1, January 1992’’

stepdown transformers are represented by the stray capacitance to ground. Typical
