This study presents a detailed analysis of very fast electromagnetic transients (VFTs)
initiated by disconnector switching operations in gas insulated switchgears (GIS). The
results of the full-Maxwell electromagnetic simulations performed on real-life GIS geometries
along with the modeling details are presented. The verification of the simulation results was
performed by comparison against both measurements and circuit-equations-based transient
simulations with the aim to quantify the achieved simulations' accuracy. The obtained results …
