  • Abstract
    THE EARLY HISTORY of installation and operation of electric-power systems indicates that serious troubles were experienced in line outages and apparatus failures caused by lightning. Manufacturers and operators quickly discovered that special protective devices were necessary to drain lightning currents from the system, and thus prevent dangerously high surge voltages.
