Impact of GIS Disconnector Operations on Secondary Equipment and Mitigation Measures1.Impacts of GIS Disconnector Operations on Secondary Equipment 1.1Transient Overvoltage Effects During opening/closing operations of Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) disconnectors, repeated arc reignition and extinction between contacts cause energy exchange between system inductance and capacitance, generating switching overvoltages with magnitudes 2–4 times the rated phase voltage and durations ranging from tens

1. What is Secondary Equipment Grounding?Secondary equipment grounding refers to connecting the secondary equipment (such as relay protection and computer monitoring systems) in power plants and substations to the earth via dedicated conductors. Simply put, it establishes an equipotential bonding network, which is then connected to the station’s main grounding grid at multiple points.2. Why Does Secondary Equipment Require Grounding?Normal power-frequency currents and voltages during primary equ
