Lightning-Induced Overvoltages

The problem of disturbances produced by lightning-induced overvoltages on distribution lines has been carefully reconsidered in the last years by power utilities. This is motivated by the widespread use of sensitive electronic devices in the power system equipment (circuit breakers, disconnectors, control and protection circuits) and, in parallel, by the increasing demand by customers for good quality in the power supply. Indeed, lightning-induced voltages are responsible of the majority of faults on distribution overhead lines, causing microinterruptions and, more in general, disturbances to sensitive electronic devices.
