Abstract
This paper describes an event of zinc oxide arrester breakdown at low voltage side due to single-phase grounding at medium voltage side of 220kV transformer. Combined with the system wiring mode, equipment damage, system background and test data, the causes of fault and the transmission mechanism of overvoltage are studied in detail, It is concluded that the single-phase grounding short circuit on the medium voltage side leads to the displacement voltage of the neutral point, and the overvoltage is transmitted to the low voltage side through the capacitive coupling between the transformer windings, resulting in the breakdown of the arrester. The correctness of the conclusion is verified by calculation, and reasonable rectification measures and suggestions are put forward to effectively limit the generation of overvoltage on the low-voltage side of the transformer and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid.
