IEEE Approved Draft Guide for Parameter Configuration of Arcing Horns of DC Earth Electrode Lines
standard by IEEE, 02/07/2022
Full Description
Scope
This guide indicates the configuration parameters for arcing horns of DC earth electrode lines, including DC arc-quenching threshold current, composition, installation and gap distance of arcing horns. This guide applies to the configuration of arcing horns of DC earth electrode lines (hereafter referred to as arcing horns) for new or reconstructed DC transmission projects.
Purpose
This guide indicates the dimension, installed position, gap distance of arcing horns of earth electrode lines, and provides a uniform criterion for the configuration of arcing horn of DC earth electrode lines, which increases the safety and stability of DC transmission systems.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active - Draft.Operating voltage, overvoltage and sustained DC arc current of DC earth electrode lines are introduced in this guide. Technical conditions of arcing horns are discussed, including gap spacing, structures, materials and layout. In addition, tests for arcing horns are recommended.
