Abstract :
Analysis of pinhole phenomena reveals possibility that high voltage may develop across cable insulation although the underground secondary system has no direct connection to overhead lines. Experience has shown that lightning arresters across the system bus will materially reduce cable failures. They will also limit the transient voltages caused by switching and similar surges.
