Abstract
In recent years, composite materials cross-arm (CMCA) towers have been gradually used in 10 kV, 35 kV or other transmission lines with lower voltage level in China. However, it is rarely used in higher voltage level transmission lines, especially in multi circuit lines on the same tower. Because of its higher height, we should pay more attention to the lightning protection performance of high voltage level multi circuit lines on the same tower. In this work, the simulation and calculation analysis of Lightning stroke model of quadruple-circuit 500 kV transmission line is done to compare CMCA tower with steel tower. The research shows that the tolerance lightning level of CMCA tower is superior to conventional steel tower, The lightning withstand level of single circuit flashover is 45% higher than that of steel tower and the minimum shielding failure lightning withstand level is 47% higher than that of steel tower. The data can provide the theoretical basis for the construction and optimization design of high voltage CMCA tower.
