description This paper presents a multibody modeling method for seismic analysis of UHV porcelain surge arresters equipped with a kind of seismic isolation device. An UHV arrester is modeled as a planar multibody system whose number of DOF is equal to the number of the arrester units. Joint coordinate method is adopted to construct the governing equations of motion. The seismic isolation device utilizing a number of lead alloy dampers as its core energy dissipation components is also investigated. An analytical model of this device is given by modeling each lead alloy damper as a hysteretic spring and reducing the entire device to a planar system consisting of a range of hysteretic springs. Its mechanical characteristic is derived theoretically, and the obtained moment-angle relationship is expressed as a system of differential algebraic equations. The initial rotational stiffness of the device is formulated in terms of the structural and mechanical parameters of the device. This analytic expression is used in estimating the fundamental frequency of the isolated equipment. By this modeling method, it is easy to construct the governing equations of motion for the isolated system. An UHV arrester specimen is analyzed by this proposed method. The effectiveness of the isolation device in terms of reducing the internal base moment is significant and the influence of system parameters on the effectiveness is also discussed. The proposed method shows its potential usefulness in optimal design of the isolation device.
