Abstract

The coordination of the insulation within GIS depends upon the overvoltages generated in the associated system and the GIS itself. These may consist of:

  • External overvoltage

    • Lightning overvoltages

    • Switching overvoltages

    • Temporary overvoltages

    • AC overvoltages generated by circuit resonance conditions

  • Specific for GIS

    • DC stressing

    • DC plus AC stressing

    • Very-fast-front overvoltages
