Insulation Coordination Study

Insulation coordination is a critical aspect of system studies and simulations in electrical power systems. It involves the selection and coordination of insulation levels and protective devices to ensure the reliable and safe operation of the system.

By considering factors such as system voltage, environmental conditions, and safety margins, insulation levels are determined for various equipment and components. System studies and simulations then analyze the ability of the insulation to withstand overvoltage events, such as lightning strikes, switching operations, and faults. The strength of the insulation, dielectric withstand capabilities, and transient response of the equipment are evaluated.
