Abstract :
Based upon an evaluation of circuit parameters, operating voltage limits, type of construction (open-wire or spacer- cable), and distribution transformer magnetizing reactance, a method is presented for the selection of voltage ratings of distribution-type lightning arresters. This method is premised on the use of a coefficient of earthing and the abandonment of the concept of the letter classification for defining the degree of system grounding.
