This paper analyzes the switching overvoltage occurred on 345kV underground power cable system as well as combined transmission system using EMTP. Cable length and closing time, preinsertion resistance have effect on switching overvoltage. Therefore, this paper analyzes the switching overvoltage occurred on conductor and sheath with change of those parameters. Specially, the cross bonding position becomes discontinuity point because of the difference between surge impedance of metal sheath and that of lead cable. Thus, the transmission and the reflection of traveling wave complexly occur at this connection point. According to these influences, voltage between sheath and earth as well as voltage between joint boxes rise. Time to crest point of switching overvoltage is longer than lightning overvoltage. Even though the voltage induced by switching surge is smaller than lightning surge, that voltage may have serious effect on the metal sheath. Therefore, this paper also analyses the reduction effect of switching overvoltage when the preinsertion resistance of circuit breaker is considered.

In this paper, for continuously changed closing time of circuit breakers, switching overvoltage on 345kV underground transmission systems are variously analyzed using EMTP with statistical analysis method. And, switching overvoltage and closing surge occurred in conductors at sending and receiving end and metal sheath with variation of cable length are analyzed, and the reduction effects for switching overvoltage considered preinsertion resistance of circuit breakers are examined.
