Abstract :
Using a calculation program for the analysis of lightning induced voltages on a multi-conductor system, the protection effects of surge arresters on three-phase distribution lines were studied. Installation of surge arresters every 200 meters provides a 6.6 kV distribution line with good protection effects. Even severe lightning induced voltage will not create large arrester discharging currents.
