COMPUTER ANALYSIS OF OVERVOLTAGE HAZARD DUE TO LIGHTNING DISCHARGES IN MEDIUM VOLTAGE OVERHEAD LINES WITH COVERED CONDUCTORS

Waldemar Skomudek

   Evaluation and computer simulation results regarding overvoltage hazard due to lightning discharges occurring within MV (20 kV) overhead power lines equipped with covered conductors are presented. Overvoltages due to direct and indirect lightning strokes are under consideration.

Keywords: over-voltage hazard, computer simulation, overhead and cable power lines of medium voltage
