Surge Protection on T&D Systems
This presentation will be about the fundamentals of Surge Protection on T&D Systems.
- Surge fundamentals: lightning, switching, faults, traveling waves, and how backflash occurs.
- The difference between arrester types: station, transmission line, and distribution arresters
- What’s new in IEEE Arrester Standard C62.11-2019
- Margin of protection fundamentals including lead length effect
- Separation Distance Fundamentals
- Why the 4/mile rule in line protection is nonsense
- How to Calculate the Value of an Arrester
- The Benefits of Transmission Line Arrester Applications
By the end of the presentation you will be an expert in surge protection.
