Abstract :
Very high power outage on distribution lines was experienced at south Jakarta, Indonesia. The annual lightning flash density in the area recorded very high, exceeding more than 15 flashes per km2. A study was carried out in this region and using lightning data from lightning detection network. Improvement of lightning protection was carried out by installing the earth wires, upgrading the insulator, improvement of grounding system and installing line arrester as well as the improvement of the installation of the arresters. Significant improvement of lightning performance was recorded after installation of lightning protection system that has been recommended by this study. Power outages associated with lightning strikes were reduced for more than 50% within 4-month observation.
