Abstract

See full text

A method for designing and validating a portable protective air gap (PPAG) device for use by workmen doing live-line maintenance on a electrical voltage transmission line network. The method sets out the procedure for optimizing the starting gap distance for a particular PPAG to be used for a given nominal system voltage. Validation testing then follows to achieve final, recommended values. PPAG devices employing axially aligned, hemispherically tipped, first and second electrodes for use on 115/138 kV, 230 kV and 345 kV voltage networks are designed using the methodology of the invention.
