Lightning Prtectin Study/Reprt UMKC Substatin Kansas City, Missuri Burns & McDnnell University f Missuri - Kansas City By: Rbert Biggs
The fllwing lightning prtectin study, with its assciated drawings, is intended t display the level f prtectin and suggested lightning prtectin that shuld be added t the new ring bus substatin cnfiguratin in the scpe f the UMKC Substatin Prject. This lightning prtectin study was dne based n the prtectin f equipment in the substatin using different cmbinatins fr the electrdes and shield wires t prvide the best prtectin t the equipment within the substatin frm lightning strkes. All prtectin calculatins have been derived frm the IEEE Standard 998-2012, "IEEE Guide fr Direct Lightning Strke Shielding f Substatins." UMKC used the rlling sphere methd fr this study. Each calculatin f prtectin was taken as a single piece f prtectin equipment first. Next, depending n the distance f separatin between ther pieces f prtectin equipment the cmbinatin calculatin was dne t determine what level f prtectin exists in between the tw pieces f equipment. Definitins and Equatins: h(e): Referred t as the height f the equipment in feet. This is the tallest piece f equipment needing prtectin arund the electrde. r(c): Referred t as the radius f cnductr in feet. This is the radius r effective radius (in feet) f the energized bus needing prtectin. h(m): Referred t as the height f the shielding mast abve grund in feet. h(w): Referred t as the height f the shield wire abve grund in feet. d(1), d(2), d(3): Refer t the distances between adjacent masts r shield wires (in feet). I(s): Referred t as the strke current. This is the maximum allwable current the statin bus and insulatin can withstand befre experiencing flashver in ka. 2.2xBIL I(s) =! Z( s) fr BIL > 350kV I(s) = 2kA fr BIL 350kV Z(s) = 60Ln(2h(e)/r(c)) S: Referred t as the strike distance. The strike distance is the length f the last stepped leader (in feet), which defines the radius f the rlling sphere. 0.65! S = 26.25kI( s) k is a cefficient t accunt fr different striking distances fr masts and wires. It is 1.2 fr strikes t masts and 1 fr strikes t wires. r: Referred t as the radius f prtectin. The distance (in feet) frm the shielding electrde t the edge f prtectin fr a given equipment height. Fr a Mast:! r = S 2 S h m S 2 S h e fr h(m) < S! r = S 2 S 2 S h e fr h(m) S Fr a Wire
! r = S 2 S h w S 2 S h e r(1): Referred t as the radius (in feet) f the curvature f the unprtected area riginating a distance f x frm the fllwing midpint f tw structures.! r( 1) = S 2 S h e x(1), x(2), x(3): Referred t as the distance (in feet) frm the midpint f adjacent masts (r shield wire supprts), perpendicular t the center f the unprtected area with r(1) as explained abve.

Recmmendatins The scpe f this lightning prtectin prject includes cmplete prtectin fr substatin cmpnents, in their entirety. UMKC Senir Design Substatin Team recmmends cmpleting this cverage: 1. By running shield wires frm the 138kV transmissin twer t a) lightning Mast1, lcated n the west leg f the A-frame structure, and t b) lightning Mast2 lcated abve the east leg f the A-frame structure. This A-frame structure is lcated between the tw suth breakers and nrth-east breaker. 2. By running a shield wire frm the 69kV transmissin twer t lightning Mast4, lcated abve the west leg f the H-frame structure. The H-frame structure is lcated nrth f the transfrmer and the 69kV breaker. 3. By running shield wire frm lighting Mast5, lcated suth f the cntrl building, t lightning Mast6, lcated nrth f the cntrl building. With these lightning prtectin cmpnents installed in the prescribed lcatins, bth the 138kV system and the 69kV system will have cmplete lightning prtectin cverage. Figure 6 shws cmplete lightning mast and shield wire prtectin.
