Lightning Performance and its Prevention for Quadruple-circuit Transmission Line with 220kV/110kV Voltage in a Tower

According to the physical process of discharge development of insulator that is struck by lightning, the lightningflashover model for quadruple-circuit transmission line with dual voltage 220kV/110kV in same tower is established basing on EMTP. The actual evaluation index of lightningprotection performance is adopted with the consideration of influence of system voltage. The characteristics of multi-circuit trip-out simultaneously for mixed-voltage lines in same tower is studied, and the distinctions of lightningprotection performance caused by differentiated configuration mode of lightningprotection measures including phase sequence arrangement, coupling ground wire and so on. The results indicate that the lightningwithstand level fluctuates approximately with the phase angle in the form of non-standard sinusoidal wave. The lightningwithstand level emerges as optimum performance under the completely reversed phase sequence. The effect of coupling ground wire on top of tower is superior to that on bottom.
