Abstract

Transient caused by lightning strikes to transmission lines, switching operations or faults are of fundamental importance in selecting equipment insulation levels and protection devices. In this sense, studies of electromagnetic transients on transmission lines have shown that when a change on the normal operation of the system occurs, voltage and currents traveling waves appear and they are reflected and refracted in the transmission line. In this paper, a simulator developed in the ATPDraw software is presented to observe the propagation of the traveling waves of voltage and current, which originates in a transmission system when a disturbance occurs, the Lattice diagram of Bewley is used into the simulator to show in a comprehensive manner the behavior of the traveling waves. It is observed that the behavior of the traveling waves depends on the reflection and refraction coefficients in the sending and receiving nodes and these coefficients depend on parameters of the transmission system such as the characteristic impedance of the line and the impedance of the sending and receiving ended.
