| description | For assessment of the insulation performance of high-voltage (HV) equipment installed in extra-high-voltage (EHV) systems, switching impulse voltage tests are performed in an HV testing laboratory. The waveform parameters of the switching impulse voltages are defined by peak voltage (<i>U<sub>p</sub></i>), time to crest (<i>T<sub>p</sub></i>), and time to half (<i>T</i><sub>2</sub>) according to IEC 60060-1. In this paper, a new, simplified, and accurate approach used for determination of the waveform parameters of the switching impulse voltages is presented. The formula used in the evaluation of <i>T<sub>p</sub></i> was derived from analytically simulated two-exponential waveforms, where <i>T<sub>p</sub></i> and <i>T</i><sub>2</sub> are in the ranges of 20 μs to 300 μs and 1000 μs to 4000 μs, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed approach was validated by the waveforms collected from the test waveform data generator (TDG) provided by IEC 61083-2, simulations, and experiments. It is found that the accuracy of the proposed approach is relatively higher than the expressions provided by IEC 60060-1 and previously developed. The proposed method is an alternative and useful approach for evaluating the waveform parameters of the standard switching impulse voltage. |
