1.0 PURPOSE:

The purpose of this calculation is to determine the height of Lightning Masts for 400/220/33 kV Indrapuram
Substation.

2.0 CODES & STANDARDS:

a) High Voltage Engineering by " Prof.Razevig"

3.0 SIZING CRITERIA:

3.1 The height of Lightning Masts depend on the

a) Height of the equipment to be protected.

b) Area to be protected.

3.2 Data for 400KV Switchyard:

a) Height of Lightning mast h 40 m

b) Height of the livepart to be protected: hx 10 m

All the heights has taken from the plinth level.

3.2 Data for 220KV Switchyard:

a) Height of Lightning mast h 40 m

b) Height of the livepart to be protected: hx 6m

All the heights has taken from the plinth level.

3.2 Data for 33KV Switchyard:

a) Height of Lightning mast h 40 m

b) Height of the livepart to be protected: hx 4m

All the heights has taken from the plinth level.

4.0 Formulae Used:

A Protective radius (rx) :

hx
1 If , hx <= (2/3)h and h > 30m:- (
r x=1 . 5 h 1
0.8h )
P m

hx
2 If , hx <= (2/3)h and h <= 30m:-
r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h ) m

3 Co-efficient for the Lightning Mast Height P 5 . 5/ h m

4 Allowable distance between two LMs S 7 x ha x P m m

5 Allowable diagonal distance between two LMs D 8 x ha x P m m

Where ha= h - hx m

B Midway point protective Height (ho) and Midway Point Protective Distance (bx)

5.0 Calculation

a) For LM1

Height of the LM h 40 m

Height to be protected hx 10 m

hx
Protective radius r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h )
P m

P = 5.5 / h

5.5/40

0.870

hx
Protective radius
r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h )
P m

= 1.5 X 40((1-(10/0.8 x 40))x0.870

35.8875 m

Hence protection area of LM1 covers the 400 kV Substation area which have to be protected.

b)
For LM2 & LM3

Height of the LM h 40 m

Height to be protected hx 6 m

hx
Protective radius r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h )
P m

P = 5.5 / h

5.5/40

0.870

hx
Protective radius
r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h )
P m

= 1.5 X 40((1-(6/0.8 x 40))x0.870

42.4125 m

Hence protection area of LM1 & LM2 covers the 220 kV Substation area which have to be protected.

c) For LM4

Height of the LM h 40 m

Height to be protected hx 5 m

hx
Protective radius r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h )
P m

P = 5.5 / h

5.5/40

0.870

hx
Protective radius
r x=1 . 5 h 1 ( 0.8h )
P m

= 1.5 X 40((1-(5/0.8 x 40))x0.870

44.04375 m

Hence protection area of LM4 covers the 33 kV Substation area which have to be protected.

1 LM1 40 10 35.8875 400 kV Switchyard area

2 LM2 40 6 42.4125 220 kV Switchyard area
3 LM3 40 6 42.4125 220 kV Switchyard area
4 LM4 40 5 44.04375 33 kV Switchyard area

Conclusion
Hence from the above calculated protection area of LM1,LM2,LM3 and LM4 we can protect the indrapuram
switch yard area from the direct lightning.
