Lightning-induced voltages are one of the main causes of shutdown in distribution lines. In this work, attention is focused on the effects of wideband modeling of electric grounding in the overvoltage calculation along insulator strings due to indirect lightning strikes. This study is done directly in the time-domain with the grounding being represented with an equivalent circuit accounting for its dynamics. Results show that the adoption of commonly adopted simplified grounding models, such as low-frequency resistance, may lead to an underestimation of the overvoltage. According to the results, differences in the order of 25% can be found in some studied cases.

“…A similar effect occurs with insulator strings. The stray capacitance to the line conductors and the grounded supporting tower affects the electric field distribution around the insulator strings, producing an uneven voltage pattern across each insulator unit [6,7]. As a result of stray capacitance, the length of the insulator string increases with the transmission voltage, but the effectiveness of each extra insulator unit tends to decrease due to the irregular voltage distribution [8].…”

This work analyzes the effects of the parasitic or stray distributed capacitance to ground in high-voltage environments and assesses the effectiveness of different corrective actions to minimize such effects. To this end, the stray capacitance of a 130 kV RMS high-voltage resistive divider is studied because it can severely influence the behavior of such devices when operating under alternating current or transient conditions. The stray capacitance is calculated by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) simulations. Different laboratory experiments under direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) supply are conducted to corroborate the theoretical findings, and different possibilities to mitigate stray capacitance effects are analyzed and discussed. The effects of the capacitance are important in applications, such as large electrical machines including transformers, motors, and generators or in high-voltage applications involving voltage dividers, conductors or insulator strings, among others. The paper also proves the usefulness of FEA simulations in predicting the stray capacitance, since they can deal with a wide range of configurations and allow determining the effectiveness of different corrective configurations.

“…Different studies prove that the stray capacitance produces an uneven voltage distribution across each insulator unit in a high-voltage insulator string [4,5]. The effect of the stray capacitance is to reduce the efficacy of each additional insulator unit due to the non-linear voltage distribution [6].…”

“…The calculation of the capacitance of conductive objects which are close to ground leads to challenging mathematical problems, even for simple geometries. Therefore, analytical solutions for capacitance only exist for a limited number of electrode geometries and configurations, which have almost no practical applications [11], and often only contemplate the stray capacitance to ground, thus disregarding the effects of nearby grounded electrodes, structures or walls [3].As a consequence, computational methods are increasingly being applied to solve such problem, although most of the published works deal with very particular problems, such as insulator strings [4,5,7], transformer windings [10] or voltage dividers [12], among others. FEM is perhaps the most applied computational technique to calculate the effects of capacitance, since it allows dealing with complex three-dimensional geometries, as reflected in several works [13][14][15][16][17][18][19].Since stray capacitances are not easily measurable, because of the low immunity to noise of the small signal to be acquired [20], results provided by numerical methods are a good alternative during the design stage of high-voltage devices and instruments.…”

Stray capacitance can seriously affect the behavior of high-voltage devices, including voltage dividers, insulator strings, modular power supplies, or measuring instruments, among others. Therefore its effects must be considered when designing high-voltage projects and tests. Due to the difficulty in measuring the effects of stray capacitance, there is a lack of available experimental data. Therefore, for engineers and researchers there is a need to revise and update the available information, as well as to have useful and reliable data to estimate the stray capacitance in the initial designs. Although there are some analytical formulas to calculate the capacitance of some simple geometries, they have a limited scope. However, since such formulas can deal with different geometries and operating conditions, it is necessary to assess their consistency and applicability. This work calculates the stray capacitance to ground for geometries commonly found in high-voltage laboratories and facilities, including wires or rods of different lengths, spheres and circular rings, the latter ones being commonly applied as corona protections. This is carried out by comparing the results provided by the available analytical formulas with those obtained from finite element method (FEM) simulation, since field simulation methods allow solving such problem. The results of this work prove the suitability and flexibility of the FEM approach, because FEM models can deal with wider range of electrodes, configurations and operating conditions. power supplies composed of several modules in series, since in [9] it is proved that the stray capacitance to ground has a significant impact on the individual voltage of each module. In other high-voltage applications, including high-voltage transformers [10] or high-voltage motors, parasitic capacitances have a key role to predict the frequency behavior of such machines.Accurate methods to calculate the capacitance are based on the calculation of the electrostatic field generated by the system of charged objects under consideration [3]. The capacitance of basic isolated geometries, such as very long horizontal cylindrical conductors, coaxial cylindrical conductors, concentric spheres, or spheres well above ground, can be easily deduced theoretically. However, such formulas have very restricted practical use. The calculation of the capacitance of conductive objects which are close to ground leads to challenging mathematical problems, even for simple geometries. Therefore, analytical solutions for capacitance only exist for a limited number of electrode geometries and configurations, which have almost no practical applications [11], and often only contemplate the stray capacitance to ground, thus disregarding the effects of nearby grounded electrodes, structures or walls [3].As a consequence, computational methods are increasingly being applied to solve such problem, although most of the published works deal with very particular problems, such as insulator strings [4,5,7], transformer windings [10]...
