Summary of transient data obtained from long-term monitoring of a 138-KV and A 500-KV transmission line

Journal Article · · IEEE Trans. Power Appar. Syst.; (United States)

This paper presents a summary of transient data obtained during the monitoring of voltages and currents for a 138-kV and a 500-kV transmission line. The 341 transient events recorded during staged tests and unattended operation are grouped into three classes--lightning, switching, and fault. Significant examples are discussed in detail, and sample waveforms are presented. A description of the laboratories used to make the measurements is included in a companion paper. This work was sponsored by the Electric Power Research Institute under Contract RP751-1.
