Abstract

To study the flashover of air gap caused by bird droppings shorting air gap and the influence of space electric field change on it, the distortion electric field simulation, space electric field simulation, and related flashover test of transmission line bird droppings falling process were carried out. By analyzing the specific influencing factors of bird droppings flashover fault, it is pointed out that the electric field distortion caused by bird droppings will affect the spatial electric field distribution around the insulator and thus affect the air gap flashover. This study analyzes the specific causes of bird dropping flashover of transmission line insulators, reduces the number of bird damage trips of transmission lines, reduces the cost of operation and maintenance of transmission lines, improves the intrinsic safety of transmission lines, and ensures the safe and reliable operation of power grids.
