Abstract  

After the transmission line trips due to gap discharge caused by overvoltage, the insulation recovery time of the discharge channel plays an important role in the setting of the reclosing time of the power system. Based on the Schlieren technique, the insulation recovery process of the discharge channel after withstanding and breakdown was observed under different impulse voltages. The test results show that when the gap withstands, the discharge channel near the electrode dissipates faster, and the evolution shape is similar to the “mushroom cloud”, while the discharge channel far away from the electrode only makes radial expansion; when the gap breaks down, the channel evolves like a “caterpillar”, and the discharge channel has a “bottleneck” phenomenon in the central illuminating area at the bend and bifurcation. The statistical results show that the insulation recovery time under different voltage levels is 5~25ms, and increases logarithmically with the increase of the injection energy when the gap withstands; when the gap breaks down and the natural wind speed is 2m/s, the insulation recovery time under the positive lightning impulse voltage, the positive switching impulse voltage and the negative switching impulse voltage with different voltage levels are 46.1~243.9ms, 6.97~107.74ms and 8.09~153.62ms, respectively.
