Example 2:
based on the same inventive concept, the invention also provides a lightning arrester voltage equalizing method, which comprises the following steps:

Example 3:
The lightning arrester belongs to a typical high-capacity multi-column parallel lightning arrester, and the residual voltage is changed by controlling the serial number of the resistor discs so as to limit the bus overvoltage under different system faults. The primary side of the arrester mainly comprises a fixed element, a controlled element and a control switch (comprising a thyristor trigger switch and a bypass switch), wherein the fixed element and the controlled element are also called an arrester body. When the system has AC/DC fault, the controlled elements are connected in parallel to reduce residual voltage, consume surplus power, inhibit overvoltage of bus in parallel, control the switch to switch off and restore the arrester to initial state.
The metal oxide resistor sheet is charged for a long period of time during normal operation, and gradually ages, and even eventually causes thermal breakdown, which is a major factor in determining the life of the arrester. Aging presents a speed problem, depending on the operating voltage of the system that acts for a long time, and on the long-term charge of the resistor, which must be limited in order to guarantee the life of the resistor. The chargeability refers to the ratio λ of the long-term operating voltage peak to the operating voltage.
The lightning arrester topology is shown in figure 1, wherein MOA1 comprises a fixed element, MOA2 comprises a controlled element, K1 comprises a thyristor trigger switch, K2 comprises a bypass switch, T comprises a thyristor, lv comprises a saturation reactor, R D comprises a damping resistor, C D comprises a damping capacitor and R p comprises a equalizing resistor.
1. Design principle
The known arrester is connected in parallel to the bus side of a direct current system converter valve, and the fixed element working voltage U1, the controlled element voltage U2 and the bus working voltage Ub have the following voltage relationship:
U1+U2=Ub (1)
the partial pressures of the fixed element and the controlled element are determined by the respective series resistor numbers, the series resistor number m of the fixed element and the series resistor number n of the controlled element are set.
Wherein:
r MOV1 is the resistance value of the fixed element;
R MOV2, resistance value of controlled element.
The design principle is as follows:
λ1=U1/Ua1=U2/Ua2=λ2≤λo (5)
Wherein:
Lambda 1 fixed element charge rate;
Lambda 2 controlled element charge rate;
u a1, fixing element action voltage;
U a2 controlled element operating voltage;
And lambda o, the maximum value of the charging rate of the lightning arrester.
The long-term charge rate of the lightning arrester must be lower than lambda o to ensure the stability of the metal oxide.
2. Partial pressure optimization method
As can be seen from fig. 1, the controlled elements need to be connected in parallel to control the switch. K2 is a bypass switch, is open under steady-state working condition, and has no influence on the partial pressure of the lightning arrester body element. K1 is a thyristor trigger switch, under steady-state direct current voltage, the thyristor T is not conducted, works in an off state for a long time, externally shows a high resistance state, the external characteristics of a damping capacitor C D and a damping resistor R D branch are off, and a voltage equalizing resistor R p is a direct current resistor, so that the steady-state direct current voltage division of the lightning arrester can be influenced by the off-state resistor R T and the voltage equalizing resistor R p of the thyristor T.
When K1 is present, the arrester securing element operating voltage U 1 'and the controlled element operating voltage U 2' are provided as follows.
Is known to be
Thus (2)
U1′>U1 (9)
When K1 is present, the fixation element partial pressure increases and lambda 1 increases.
To reduce the steady state charge rate of the fixed portion, a resistor R q is connected in parallel to the fixed element, as shown in the topology of fig. 1.In order to reduce the voltage division effect caused by K1 as much as possible, the resistance value of the resistor R q needs to be matched with the equalizing resistor R p according to the off-state resistor R T of the thyristor, and the following relation exists.
Thus there is the following derivation:
Substituting the formulas (2) and (11) into the formula (12) to obtain
The resistor R q reduces the influence of steady-state voltage division of the lightning arrester caused by the introduction of the control switch, and reduces the steady-state charge rate of the fixed element.
3. Resistor Rq resistance value adjusting design
Thyristors are nonlinear elements, the off-state resistance does not change substantially when the ambient temperature is below a certain value, and the resistance becomes small or even decreases from megaohms to kiloohms when the ambient temperature is above a certain value. In order to ensure the charging rate of the lightning arrester element at any ring temperature, the patent proposes a method for reducing the influence caused by nonlinear characteristics of the off-state resistance of the thyristor by adjusting the resistance value of R q.
Resistor R q has a device series-parallel design as in FIG. 2, and is composed of a-stage parallel b-stage series resistors. When the lightning arrester runs in a steady state, when the ring temperature is higher than a certain value due to special conditions, the off-state resistance of the thyristor is reduced, the parallel number a of the resistor device is increased or the series number b is reduced to reduce the resistance value of the resistor R q for matching, otherwise, the resistance value is increased, and therefore the influence of K1 on the charging rate of the lightning arrester is reduced as much as possible.
