Abstract :
Lightning, shorted conductors, line switching, and flashovers create voltage surges on the power lines serving an industrial plant. Electrical equipment in the plant, particularly high-voltage motors, can be damaged by these surges. The resulting loss of production, plus repair or replacement costs, make it imperative that adequate protection be provided against surges.
