Voltage across CB contacts in case.3 Case.4: Simulation <strong>of</strong> switching, reclosing and reopening <strong>of</strong> C.B., in presence <strong>of</strong> no-load transformers and double circuit transmission line: In the forth scenario system is in no load operating condition. Before starting the simulation these conditions are applied to the system: Transformers operate in no load condition and all <strong>of</strong> the 132kV outgoings are disconnected. Cables are disconnected from 132kV busbar. Circuit-breakers “=C02-QA1, =C02-QA2, =C01-QA1 and =C01-QA2” are closed and “=C02-QA3 and =C01-QA3” are opened.

Voltage across CB contacts in case.4 Case.5: Simulation <strong>of</strong> switching, reclosing and reopening <strong>of</strong> C.B., in the presence <strong>of</strong> no-load transformers and single circuit transmission line: In the last scenario system is in no load operating condition. Before starting the simulation these conditions are applied to the system: Transformers operate in no load condition and all <strong>of</strong> the 132kV outgoings are disconnected. Cables are disconnected from 132kV busbar. Circuit-breakers “=C02-QA2 and =C01-QA2” are closed and “=C02-QA1, =C01-QA1, =C02-QA3 and =C01-QA3” are opened. Tap <strong>of</strong> the transformers are regulated on 1.05. In this scenario one circuit <strong>of</strong> the overhead line is disconnected from both upstream substation and “Fajr II S.S”. In the moment <strong>of</strong> 0.999 seconds =C01-QA3 is closed and in the moment <strong>of</strong> 1.0653 seconds reopened. Again in the moment <strong>of</strong> 2 seconds, the system becomes stable again. According to Fig. 9, the maximum peak over-voltage that occurs is about 750kV phase to earth equal to 3.26 times greater than normal operating phase voltage. 800 600 400 200 0 -200 -400 -600 -800 Advanced Graph Frame CB VOLTAGE ACROSS POLES PH:A PEAK 0.00 0.25 0.50 0.75 1.00 1.25 1.50 1.75 2.00 ... ... ... Fig. 9. Voltage across CB contacts in case.5 IV. CONCLUSION In this study, switching over voltages for 400kV circuitbreakers <strong>of</strong> the “Fajr II substation” have been analyzed. System components were modeled and implemented in PSCAD/EMTDC s<strong>of</strong>tware for further simulations. Five different case studies were defined and simulation has been done for each one. The voltage between two contacts <strong>of</strong> the middle breaker for three phases has been recorded. From above figures it can be concluded that there is some technical factors that can lower the switching over voltages. In this substation, the length <strong>of</strong> the transmission lines is the main reason. It can be observed from figures that the maximum probable switching over voltage that can occur is lower than maximum switching voltage withstood <strong>of</strong> the insulation <strong>of</strong> the 184
International Journal <strong>of</strong> Computer and Electrical Engineering, Vol.4, No.2, April 2012 circuit breaker. Based on this conclusion, there is no need for expensive shunt resistor or synchronizing switch for the 400kV circuit-breakers in the “Fajr II 400/132kV substation”.
