Abstract

As a wind load-sensitive structure, the wind characteristics of typical post-disconnect switchgear in substations are of great significance to the design of the wind resistance of the structure. To study the static wind characteristics of the three-post structure of post-disconnect switchgear, this paper conducts high-frequency force balance (HFFB) wind tunnel tests on the three-post model of post-disconnect switchgear and obtains information on the variation law of the static wind force coefficient of the model with the wind angle and the most unfavorable wind angle. The results show that the model drag coefficient, combined force coefficient, and skewed wind load factor are M-shaped and symmetric at about 90° under different wind angles, and the most unfavorable wind angles are 60° and 120°; the lift coefficient and torsional moment coefficient are antisymmetric about 0°, and the overall values are small. In general, the model is mainly subjected to along-wind static wind force, and the static wind force distribution is influenced by the skewed wind and changes uniformly. The model mainly produces a bending effect under the action of static wind force, and the torsion effect is not obvious.
