The invention relates to a method for calculating the direct
lightning tripping-out rate of a distribution line up to 35kV. In the method, firstly, the
lightning damage condition of the region where the distribution line is arranged, and the line parameters and the
tower parameters are obtained, and the probability of the event that the
lightning current hits the towers and the probability of the event that the lightning current hits the wires are obtained. Secondly, in view of the special neutral point grounding manner of the distribution line, when the lightning current directly hits wires, and two phase flashover and
three phase flashover of insulators occur, and the amplitude of the lightning current is calculated through a brand new formula. the
simulation model that the lightning current hits towers and lightning conductors under the condition of a specific
tower shape and a specific loop is established by means of electromagnetic transient simulating calculation
software, the amplitude of the lightning current which causes two phase flashover and
three phase flashover of the insulators is obtained, furthermore, the straight hit
tripping-out rate is calculated through a new formula, the back flashover
tripping-out rate is calculated through a new formula, and by adding the straight hit tripping-out rate to the back flashover tripping-out rate, the total straight hit tripping-out rate can be obtained. The method for calculating the direct lightning tripping-out rate of the distribution line up to 35kV is suitable for calculating the tripping-out rate of the distribution line under the condition of different
tower shapes and loops, and can provide basis to lightning damage assessment and line reconstruction.
