Figure 2.5 Calculated factors VF <strong>in</strong> the outer conductors L1 and L3 <strong>in</strong> the case <strong>of</strong> a three-phase <strong>short</strong> <strong>circuit</strong> as function <strong>of</strong> the related relevant<br />
natural frequency fc/f <strong>of</strong> the conductor and the logarithmic damp<strong>in</strong>g Λ, both ends fixed [Ref 8, Ref 9, Ref 19]. Also the standardised<br />
curve is given.<br />
In the case <strong>of</strong> s<strong>in</strong>gle span beams and cont<strong>in</strong>uous beams<br />
with two spans, Table 2.1 gives the values α known<br />
from statics. If there are three or more spans the force at<br />
the first support is a little bit higher and at the second<br />
support a little bit lower compared to a two-span bus.<br />
This is confirmed by numerical calculations <strong>of</strong> 110-kV-<br />
, 220-kV- and 380-kV-busbars [Ref 8, Ref 10]. <strong>The</strong><br />
rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g supports will be subjected by lower forces.<br />
Due to resonances, different distances between the<br />
supports can cause up to 20% higher forces at the<br />
supports compared to the case <strong>of</strong> equal distances, if the<br />
length <strong>of</strong> the <strong>short</strong>er span is 15 % to 100 % <strong>of</strong> the other<br />
spans. Less than 15 % and more than 100 % give a<br />
further <strong>in</strong>crease [Ref 8, Ref 10, Ref 24]. Numerical<br />
dynamic and static evaluations confirm this. <strong>The</strong>refore it<br />
is recommended to avoid span length less than 20 % <strong>of</strong><br />
the adjacent ones; if this is not possible, the conductors<br />
shall be decoupled us<strong>in</strong>g flexible jo<strong>in</strong>ts at the supports.<br />
2.2.3.4 Factor Vr<br />
In most 110-kV-systems and <strong>in</strong> all systems with<br />
voltages above, s<strong>in</strong>gle-phase automatic reclos<strong>in</strong>g is<br />
used; this does not result <strong>in</strong> higher stresses compared to<br />
the three-phase <strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong>. In MV- and LV-systems,<br />
the three-phase automatic reclos<strong>in</strong>g is used. This could<br />
also sometimes be used <strong>in</strong> a 110-kV-system. If the<br />
reclos<strong>in</strong>g is unsuccessful, a three-phase <strong>short</strong>-<strong>circuit</strong><br />
happens aga<strong>in</strong>. An <strong>in</strong>crease <strong>of</strong> the conductor stress and<br />
the forces on the supports can occur. <strong>The</strong> worst case<br />
follows if the first current flow ends at maximum<br />
moment and the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g <strong>of</strong> the second current flow<br />
co<strong>in</strong>cides with a maximum moment dur<strong>in</strong>g free<br />
vibration <strong>of</strong> the conductor [Ref 8, Ref 10, Ref 25]. For<br />
this purposes, the factor Vr is <strong>in</strong>troduced as the ratio <strong>of</strong><br />
two dynamic load responses:<br />
response with automatic reclos<strong>in</strong>g<br />
(2.32) r<br />
response without automatic reclos<strong>in</strong>g<br />
= V<br />
Vr depends on the conductor frequency and <strong>in</strong>creases for<br />
fc/f < 2, Figure 2.6; Vr becomes one for fc/f > 2. Dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
longer dead times the free oscillation <strong>of</strong> the conductors<br />
is damped which results <strong>in</strong> lower Vr. <strong>The</strong> calculated<br />
curves are approached by the dotted curve for the<br />
standard.<br />
When estimat<strong>in</strong>g without conductor frequency, the<br />
stresses σm and σs are to be calculated by use <strong>of</strong> Vr = 1,8<br />
to get results on the safe side.<br />
In Figure 2.4, VF is to be replaced by VFVr with threephase<br />
automatic reclos<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
If there is no three-phase automatic reclos<strong>in</strong>g Vr = 1 is to<br />
be used <strong>in</strong> the correspond<strong>in</strong>g equations when<br />
consider<strong>in</strong>g the conductor frequency.
