IEEE Guide for Improving the Lightning Performance of Electric Power Overhead Distribution Lines
Abstract
Factors that contribute to lightning-caused faults on the line insulation of overhead distribution lines and suggested improvements to existing and new constructions are identified in this guide.Scope
This guide will identify factors that contribute to lightning-caused faults on overhead distribution lines and suggest improvements to existing and new constructions. This guide is limited to the protection of distribution-line insulation for system voltages 69 kV and below. Equipment protection considerations are covered in IEEE Std C62.22-2009.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to present alternatives for reducing lightning-caused flashovers on overhead distribution lines.
