8.6 Potential Distribution over Suspension Insulator String
8.7 String Efficiency
8.8 Methods of Improving String Efficiency
8.9 Important Points
Cross Arm
It is an engineered piece of composite equipment used in pole line
technology to hold power lines and other electric equipment.
Cross-arms is used to support the insulator strings. The tower itself
supports the cross-arms and cross-arms support the insulators and
insulators support the conductors at safe distance from the tower
itself.
32
Pin type insulators are used for transmission and distribution of electric power at
voltages upto 33 kV. Beyond operating voltage of 33 kV, the pin type insulators
become too bulky and hence uneconomical.
ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM-1
(2150908)
Pin Type Insulator
Pin type insulators are used for the transmission of lower voltages. A single pin type
insulator is used to transmit voltages up to 11 kV (kilovolts) and higher voltages require
two-, three- or fourpiece pin insulators. They are not economically feasible for 33 kV
and higher transmission lines.
Pin type insulators are secured with steel or lead bolts onto transmission poles. These
are typically used for straight-running transmission lines.

Pin Type Insulator
SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS
For high voltages (>33 kV), it is a usual practice to use suspension
type insulators shown in Figure. consist of a number of porcelain
discs connected in series by metal links in the form of a string.
The conductor is suspended at the bottom
end of this string while the other end of the
string is secured to the cross-arm of the
tower. Each unit or disc is designed for
low voltage, say 11 kV. The number of
discs in series would obviously depend
upon the working voltage. For instance, if
the working voltage is 66 kV, then six
discs in series will be provided on the
string.
Suspension type transmission line insulators suspend and support high voltage
transmission lines. They are cost effective for higher voltage transmission, typically
replacing multiple pin type insulators. Suspension type insulators have a number of
interconnected porcelain discs, with each individual unit designed to support a
particular voltage.
SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS
ADVANTAGES OF SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS
1. Suspension type insulators are cheaper than pin type insulators for voltages
beyond 33 Kv.
2. Each unit or disc of suspension type insulator is designed for low voltage,
usually 11 kV. Depending upon the working voltage, the desired number of
discs can be connected in series.
3. If any one disc is damaged, the whole string does not become useless
because the damaged disc can be replaced by the sound one.
4. The suspension arrangement provides greater flexibility to the line. The
connection at the cross arm is such that insulator string is free to swing in any
direction and can take up the position where mechanical stresses are
minimum.
5. In case of increased demand on the transmission line, it is found more
satisfactory to supply the greater demand by raising the line voltage than to
provide another set of conductors. The additional insulation required for the
raised voltage can be easily obtained in the suspension arrangement by
adding the desired number of discs.
Potential Distribution Over SuspensionInsulator String
A string of suspension insulators consists of a number of
porcelain discs connected in series through metallic links. Fig.
below shows 3-disc string of suspension insulators. The
porcelain portion of each disc is in between two metal links.
32
Potential Distribution OverSuspensionInsulator String–Mutual
Capacitance
33
Each disc forms a capacitor C as shown in Fig. This is known as
mutual capacitance or self-capacitance (C). If there were
mutual capacitance alone, then charging current would have
been the same through all the discs and consequently voltage
across each unit would have been the same i.e., V/3 as shown in
Figure
35
In actual practice, capacitance also exists between metal fitting of each disc
and tower or earth. This is known as shunt capacitance (C1). Due to shunt
capacitance, charging current is not the same through all the discs of the
string. Therefore, voltage across each disc will be different. The disc nearest
to the line conductor will have the maximum voltage (charging current has
maximum value at the disc nearest to the conductor). Thus referring to
Figure below, V3 will be much more than V2 or V1.
Potential Distribution OverSuspensionInsulator String–Shunt
Capacitance
Potential Distribution Over SuspensionInsulator String
– Conclusions
36
The following points may be noted regarding the potential distribution
over a string of suspension insulators :
(i)The voltage impressed on a string of suspension insulators does not distribute
itself uniformly across the individual discs due to the presence of shunt
capacitance.
(ii)The disc nearest to the conductor has maximum voltage across it. As we move
towards the cross-arm, the voltage across each disc goes on decreasing.
(iii)The unit nearest to the conductor is under maximum electrical stress and is
likely to be punctured. Therefore, means must be provided to equalise the potential
across each unit.
(iv)If the voltage impressed across the string were d.c., then voltage across each
unit would be the same. It is because insulator capacitances are ineffective for d.c.
String Efficiency
As stated above, the voltage applied across the string of suspension
insulators is not uniformly distributed across various units or discs.
The disc nearest to the conductor has much higher potential than the
other discs. This unequal potential distribution is undesirable and is
usually expressed in terms of string efficiency
37
String efficiency is an important consideration since it decides the
potential distribution along the string. The greater the string efficiency,
the more uniform is the voltage distribution. Thus 100% string
efficiency is an ideal case for which the voltage across each disc will
be exactly the same.
String Efficiency – Important Points
38
String Efficiency – Example
38
In a 33 kV overhead line, there are three units in the string of
insulators. If 85% of the voltage drop is at the disc nearest to the
conductor, Calculate the string efficiency.
String Efficiency – Example
38
In a 33 kV overhead line, there are three units in the string of
insulators. If 85% of the voltage drop is at the disc nearest to the
conductor, Calculate the string efficiency.
Voltage across string = 19.05kV
V3 = 0.85*19.05 = 16.19kV
String efficiency = 19.05/(3*16.19)*100
= 39.5%
=>Voltage is not uniformly distributed

Potential distribution–Mathematical expressions

Potential distribution–Mathematical expressions
38
The following points may be noted from the above mathematical
analysis :
(i) If K = 0·2 (Say), then from exp. , we get, V2 = 1·2 V1 and V3 =
1·64 V1. This clearly shows that disc nearest to the conductor has
maximum voltage across it; the voltage across other discs
decreasing progressively as we move towards the cross arm
(ii) The greater the value of K (= C1/C), the more non-uniform is the
potential across the discs and lesser is the string efficiency.
(iii) The inequality in voltage distribution increases with the increase
of number of discs in the string. Therefore, shorter string has more
efficiency than the larger one.

39
In a 33 kV overhead line, there are three units in the string of insulators. If the
capacitance between each insulator pin and earth is 11% of self-capacitance of
each insulator, find (i) the distribution of voltage over 3 insulators and (ii) string
efficiency.

potentials across top unit (i.e., near to the tower) and middle unit are 8 kV and 11
kV respectively. Calculate (i) the ratio of capacitance between pin and earth to the
self-capacitance of each unit (ii)the line voltage and (iii) string efficiency.
Potential distribution – problems - 3
39
Each line of a 3-phase system is suspended by a string of 3 similar insulators. If
the voltage across the line unit is 17·5 kV, calculate the line to neutral voltage.
Assume that the shunt capacitance between each insulator and earth is 1/8th of the
capacitance of the insulator itself. Also find the string efficiency.

They are not economically feasible for 33 kV and higher transmission lines. Pin type insulators are secured with steel or lead bolts onto transmission poles. These are typically used for straight-running transmission lines. ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM-1 (2150908) Pin Type Insulator
  • 6. SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS For high voltages (>33 kV), it is a usual practice to use suspension type insulators shown in Figure. consist of a number of porcelain discs connected in series by metal links in the form of a string.
  • 7. The conductor is suspended at the bottom end of this string while the other end of the string is secured to the cross-arm of the tower. Each unit or disc is designed for low voltage, say 11 kV. The number of discs in series would obviously depend upon the working voltage. For instance, if the working voltage is 66 kV, then six discs in series will be provided on the string. Suspension type transmission line insulators suspend and support high voltage transmission lines. They are cost effective for higher voltage transmission, typically replacing multiple pin type insulators. Suspension type insulators have a number of interconnected porcelain discs, with each individual unit designed to support a particular voltage. SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS
  • 8. ADVANTAGES OF SUSPENSION TYPE INSULATORS 1. Suspension type insulators are cheaper than pin type insulators for voltages beyond 33 Kv. 2. Each unit or disc of suspension type insulator is designed for low voltage, usually 11 kV. Depending upon the working voltage, the desired number of discs can be connected in series. 3. If any one disc is damaged, the whole string does not become useless because the damaged disc can be replaced by the sound one. 4. The suspension arrangement provides greater flexibility to the line. The connection at the cross arm is such that insulator string is free to swing in any direction and can take up the position where mechanical stresses are minimum. 5. In case of increased demand on the transmission line, it is found more satisfactory to supply the greater demand by raising the line voltage than to provide another set of conductors. The additional insulation required for the raised voltage can be easily obtained in the suspension arrangement by adding the desired number of discs.
  • 9. Potential Distribution Over SuspensionInsulator String A string of suspension insulators consists of a number of porcelain discs connected in series through metallic links. Fig. below shows 3-disc string of suspension insulators. The porcelain portion of each disc is in between two metal links. 32
  • 10. Potential Distribution OverSuspensionInsulator String–Mutual Capacitance 33 Each disc forms a capacitor C as shown in Fig. This is known as mutual capacitance or self-capacitance (C). If there were mutual capacitance alone, then charging current would have been the same through all the discs and consequently voltage across each unit would have been the same i.e., V/3 as shown in Figure
  • 11. 35 In actual practice, capacitance also exists between metal fitting of each disc and tower or earth. This is known as shunt capacitance (C1). Due to shunt capacitance, charging current is not the same through all the discs of the string. Therefore, voltage across each disc will be different. The disc nearest to the line conductor will have the maximum voltage (charging current has maximum value at the disc nearest to the conductor). Thus referring to Figure below, V3 will be much more than V2 or V1. Potential Distribution OverSuspensionInsulator String–Shunt Capacitance
  • 12. Potential Distribution Over SuspensionInsulator String – Conclusions 36 The following points may be noted regarding the potential distribution over a string of suspension insulators : (i)The voltage impressed on a string of suspension insulators does not distribute itself uniformly across the individual discs due to the presence of shunt capacitance. (ii)The disc nearest to the conductor has maximum voltage across it. As we move towards the cross-arm, the voltage across each disc goes on decreasing. (iii)The unit nearest to the conductor is under maximum electrical stress and is likely to be punctured. Therefore, means must be provided to equalise the potential across each unit. (iv)If the voltage impressed across the string were d.c., then voltage across each unit would be the same. It is because insulator capacitances are ineffective for d.c.
  • 13. String Efficiency As stated above, the voltage applied across the string of suspension insulators is not uniformly distributed across various units or discs. The disc nearest to the conductor has much higher potential than the other discs. This unequal potential distribution is undesirable and is usually expressed in terms of string efficiency 37 String efficiency is an important consideration since it decides the potential distribution along the string. The greater the string efficiency, the more uniform is the voltage distribution. Thus 100% string efficiency is an ideal case for which the voltage across each disc will be exactly the same.

  • 20. Potential distribution–Mathematical expressions 38 The following points may be noted from the above mathematical analysis : (i) If K = 0·2 (Say), then from exp. , we get, V2 = 1·2 V1 and V3 = 1·64 V1. This clearly shows that disc nearest to the conductor has maximum voltage across it; the voltage across other discs decreasing progressively as we move towards the cross arm (ii) The greater the value of K (= C1/C), the more non-uniform is the potential across the discs and lesser is the string efficiency. (iii) The inequality in voltage distribution increases with the increase of number of discs in the string. Therefore, shorter string has more efficiency than the larger one.
