Insulation coordination:
1. Insulation coordination is the selection of the

Types of Overvoltages
Overvoltages stressing a power system can
generally be classified into two main types:
1. External overvoltages:
Generated by atmospheric disturbances i.e:
li ht i t ik
lightning strike
2 Internal overvoltages:
2.
Generated by changes in the operating
conditions of the network and can be divided
into two types i.e:
(a) switching overvoltages and
(b)
(b) temporary overvoltages

Insulation Over‐voltages
Electric insulation is a vital part of an
electrical power system, a careful
analysis of the line insulation to ensure
an adequate line design is needed

Conversion three to six‐phase transmission lines will
effect on the existing tower insulation i.e. striking
distance (clearance) and the insulator string length
(number of insulator). The statistical withstand
voltage for line insulation V3 is defined as:

Clearance area is depending on horizontal

Horizontal and vertical distance is 4.42
meter and 1.78 meter. Relationship between

Minimum clearance based on lightning impulse
In the clearances calculation based on lightning impulse (LI),
clearances are calculated by dividing the highest equivalent
crest voltage for the 1.2/50 μs impulse wave shape. Clearance
phase‐to‐ground can be calculated by using:
