Abstract
AbstractIn high‐voltage aerial distribution systems, creeping discharges progress along the cable surface from the free end of the binding wire when overvoltages caused by a lightning surge have invaded the central line of an insulated cable. Consequently, various accidents such as punch‐through breakdown, melting, or snapping of a cable, often occur at these systems. In our previous studies, it has been clarified that the lengths and aspects of creeping discharges under a 1.2/50 µ s impulse voltage condition can be markedly affected by changes in the electric field strength on the cable surface. However, lightning impulse surges which may invade the central line of a cable have various wave front durations. This will further complicate creeping discharge phenomena due to lightning.In this paper, we report the influence of the wave front duration on both the lengths and the aspects of the creeping discharges which progress on the cable on application of lightning impulse voltages. It has been shown that the behavior of negative creeping discharges reveals pronounced changes in response to the duration of the wave front of the applied voltage. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
