Abstract
High-frequency overvoltage generated in railways results in explosions of Electric Multiple Units’ (EMUs) arrestors. To solve this problem, the leakage current characteristics and heat transfer process of high-gradient MOA plates under high-frequency overvoltage has been studied. The leakage current characteristics of arrestor plates under high-frequency voltage was obtained and the element distribution has been analyzed. Heat transfer distribution and the thermal properties of the Metal Oxide Arrestor (MOA) have been modelled. According to the results, for a given voltage, the higher the harmonic frequency, the greater the leakage current of the arrestor valve plate, and the greater the resistive component of the leakage current. The Zn and O elements in high-gradient MOA plates are more uniform. Under the same leakage current as conventional ones, the undertake voltage of a high-gradient MOA plate will increase by 10%. Longtime high-order harmonic action will still significantly improve the core rod temperature when MOA plates are coated. The temperature rise in the power supply section of EMUs during operation is roughly 35 °C. This result will provide a foundation and supporting data for the applicability of high-gradient valve plates in railroads and coating improvements for traditional arrestor plates.
