Abstract :
This paper presents the development of an automatic system designed to measure fast electromagnetic transients on energized distribution network on both, medium and low voltage circuits. The four developed systems were installed on class 15 kV feeders. The feeders were chosen according to the flash lightning density levels of the region. Besides the constructive details of the develop system, the paper shows the main results achieved.
