Design, Planning and Layout of high voltage laboratory
Test facilities provided in high voltage lab

Our main aim to study is:
Introductio: In this industrial developing world the need
of power is increasing exponentially thus to transfer high power at long distance is necessary
So the transmission at h.v is possible which is up to 720 kv and 1000kv
So extensively study is made on high voltage d.c. testing at 400 kv
Thus to perform tests and research the lab providing high voltage is needed
Transformers Lighting arrester Isolator and C.B Different type of insulators Cables Capacitors Line hardware and accessories Other equipment like reactors

Other test equipment like the impulse current generator for testing surge diverters and d.c. test facilities for testing cables and capacitors can also be made available .
In industrial laboratories not much emphasis is generally given for undertaking research work and little flexibility may be available for incorporating new equipments
Large size lab Used for testing and research work
It contains facilities like One or more h.v. test halls, Corona and pollution test chambers, Outdoor test area for tests on large sized equipment,
transmission lines and towers etc., Controlled atmospheric test rooms/chambers, Computer facilities, library etc. with good office
facilities, and Provision for overnight tests and stay.
The building and equipment include the workshop, material handling equipment like cranes, ladders, air cushion platforms etc. and large control and electric supply facilities (up to few KVA or MVA).
such a laboratory will include a director or manager, few group leaders, and section heads separately for research, testing, measurements, electronics and computer facilities
The cost of such laboratories will be several millions of rupees

of Equipment in High Voltage Lab
Generally up to 230 KV design it does not pose any problem but above 400 KV it is to be handle with care
For research and development work, the voltage levels needed are usually about 1.3 times the maximum test voltage needed. Hence, the laboratories intended for different system voltages should have the test voltages
1. D.C. Testing Equipment
2.Power frequency testing equipment
3.Impulse generators
4. Other hv testing equipment
Voltage and Power rating of test equipment
D.C. Testing Equipment
It can be performed with cascaded rectifier.
When testing polluted insulation intense care must be taken
It require currents of 50 to 200 mA, but strong pre-discharge streamers of 0.5 to 1.0 A of milliseconds duration may occur.
Hence, the generator must have adequate internal reactance in order to maintain the test voltage without too high a voltage drop.
Power Frequency testing equipment
The flashover voltage of an insulator in air or oil or in some fluid depends on the capacitance of the supply system, due to
the fact that a voltage drop may not maintain the pre-discharges before breakdown.
Hence, a minimum of 1000 pF or more in parallel with the energized insulator is needed to determine the real flashover or puncture voltage, and the generator has to supply at least 1A in the case of clean and 5 A
in the case of polluted insulator at test voltage on short circuit.
The output of testing transformer will be given by•p = 2ΠfC x V² x 10e-19 KVA
Transformer self capacitance ana capa. Of various high voltage e.g. bushing is used to
measure load capac.
The maximum charging voltage of an impulse voltage generator is given by the stage voltage multiplied by the number of stages. The peak value of the impulse voltage V5 for a standard 1.2/50 ^s wave is
V d.c. = Charging voltage, n = number of stages in the generator, CL = load capacitance, and Cg = generator capacitance.
Impulse Generators
In order to test transformers which have large capacitance, a minimum of 30,000 to 40,000 pF of generator capacitance is needed.
A simple calculation will show that a minimum of 135 KJ is required for a 3 MV impulse generator, if the IEC specification for impulse wave shape is to be maintained.
The minimum energy rating of a 6 MV impulse generator will be about 600 kJ.
From this it may be concluded that the energy rating in kilojoules may be approximated to be equal to 0.1 times the voltage rating in kV.
There is no problem to pile up a large size capacitance in the form of a number of capacitors and to charge them in parallel and discharge them in series to give the requited peak of the standard impulse wave.
But many difficulties exist in reducing the internal inductance of the circuit to a minimum to obtain a steep front and to avoid oscillations. As an example, a 4 MV impulse generator test circuit has a length equal to 0.1 times the voltage rating (kv)
Hence, a very careful design and a very careful consideration of the test circuit only can give the optimum test conditions which are not far from theoretical specifications
IMPULSE GENERATOR
Usually, the other testing equipment that will be available is, 1. impulse current generators for testing lightning arresters,2. test facilities for measuring RIV and partial discharges, 3. sphere gaps for measurement and calibration purposes, and 4. high voltage Schering bridge for dielectric testing. Usually, the impulse current generators are rated between 100 to 250 kA with an energy rating of 50 to 100 kJ.
This is more than adequate for testing with lightning stroke currents.
Partial discharge and RIV measurements require testing transformers free from internal discharges. The detection equipment should be capable of detecting 0.01 PC of charge in at lest object capacitance of 100 pF and 2 to 3 PC
Thus , test transformers should have internal discharges of the same order at the specified voltage value.
it is possible to design a.c testing transformers with necessary shielding, etc. with internal discharges less than 5 pC at 50OkV.
Where sphere gaps are used, it is important to bestow thought regarding the proper size and space requirements. Proper attention must be given to type and magnitude of the voltage to be measured, range of operation keeping in view that the sparking distance is less than 0.5 times the diameter of the spheres, and space requirements as specified in IS: 1876-1961 and other specifications
Other High Voltage Testing Equipment
Size and Dimensions of the Equipment In High Voltage lab
Mainly two type of lab: 1. indoor type & 2.outdoor type
indoor type has the advantage of 1. protection of testing equipment against variable weather conditions, 2. simplicity in design and control of the test equipment, 3. provision of observation facilities during testing.
outdoor laboratories have the advantage of1. less cost due to the absence of building cost and 2. the planned facility 3. layout cost
But it has disadvantages 1. absence of lifting and supporting facilities, 2.climatic conditions which may restrict or impede testing 3.reproducibility of results not being guaranteed due to uncontrolled atmospheric conditions, and 4.artificial and wet test studies which are difficult due to wind variation, etc.
When high voltage laboratories are planned as indoor laboratories, the following figures fix the dimensions of the laboratories:
1. Size of the test equipment for a.c., d.c., or impulse generators
2. Distances or clearances between the test object and ground during test conditions and also between all the high voltage terminals and earthed or grounded surroundings such as walls, roofs of buildings, and other test equipment not energized.
Layout of high voltage lab It is based on type of equipment to be tested ,
available space ,other accessories needed for the tests……
EARTHING and SAFETY is foremost consideration ……
