A Contribution to the Frequency and Transient Analysis of High Voltage Bushings
Abstract: The paper suggests a method for determining the frequency characteristics and transient response of capacitively graded high voltage bushings. It is based on an s-domain circuit model that describes the grading conducting foils and the insulating layers. In most cases, they are of different axial lengths. A system of simultaneous differential and algebraic equations is derived taking these differences into account. Its closed-form solution, subject to the boundary conditions, can …
