Abstract

It is generally known that power system outages caused by lightning flashover present a serious engineering problem. In many cases, lightning may caused damaged electrical equipment. From that, it will be lost millions of Ringgit Malaysia each year. Most of the industries looking for ways to protect equipment at the power plant site from damage by natural causes such as lightning. It will be the necessary precautions to keep the lightning channel far away from the immediate neighbourhood of flammable and explosive materials. Protection of electric equipment against this power of nature is one objective of high voltage engineering and testing. The aim of this experiments to analyze the safety gap that will be tested by prototype of pipeline using between stainless steel pipe and stainless steel plate. The influence of the spark gap discharge on the statistics of the air breakdown processes have been investigated in a wide range of gap lengths from 1.0 cm to 3.0 cm under AC, DC and Impulse conditions. The experimental results have been analyzed with the theoretical predictions and the satisfactory agreements which can be starts to be useful from an engineering point of view.
