st PSD Functions

Control of the Closing Instant

„ PSD Controller receive a closing command related to Voltage Zero

Crossing
„ PSD Controller calculate delay time depending on:
− Arcing Time
− Mechanical closing Time
− Control Voltage
− Ambient temperature
„ Adaptive Mode
− PSD Controller calculate the standardized mechanical operating time of the last
3 switching operations , using weighting factors for each 3 previous operations
for the next switching operation to be configured automatically.
− The basis for the functioning of the adaptive control is the reference contacts
located on each phase operating lever. The reference contact signal indicate a
change to the CB switching position.
„ Operate in case of sensor failure
− If not all conditions for successful control of the switching instant are met, the
PSD can be configured to: Not forward a command or Operate in any case.

st Minimizing number of segments per arrester

SIEMENS Competition
Example left side (SIEMENS):
3EQ with 2 segments for up to 550 kV system voltage

Example right side (competition):

4 units per stack for the same voltage level or
arrester with additional insulators for stabilisation or
multiple segment arrester built up with MV arresters

Minimizing the number of segments

per arrester means:

ƒ more stability
= higher mechanical cantilever strength
ƒ less segments to mount
= less installation time
--> less installation costs
ƒ less danger of moisture ingress between flanges
ƒ better voltage distribution

all in all:
The lower the number of segments per arrester stack
the better the electrical and mechanical performance is.
