Lightning-Induced Voltages

1. Aim of Presentation

To give some answers to the questions that are

most commonly raised by engineers and

scientific researchers dealing with the problem of

protection against lightning-induced voltages.

2. What causes induced voltages ?

Electromagnetic coupling between the field radiatedby a lightning stroke and the line conductors

Incident fieldScattered field

TOTAL FIELD

2. What causes induced voltages ? Cont.

Essentially the return-stroke phase is responsible ofthe induced voltage

However, when lightning strikes the ground nearbythe line at close distance from the line, also thepreceding leader phase can results in a significantinduced voltage

3. How to evaluate them?

A review of the various return-stroke models has beenrecently made by Rakov and Uman onIEEE EMC Transactions, Special Issue on Lightning,1998 where they have discussed, among others, thefollowing ‘engineering’ models

• Bruce-Golde (BG)

• Transmission Line (TL) Uman, McLain, Krider

• Traveling Current Source (TCS) Heidler

• Modified Transm. Line - Linear (MTLL) Rakov and Dulzon

• Modified Transm. Line - Exponential (MTLE) Nucci et al.

• Diendorfer-Uman (DU)

Return-stroke current models

3. How to evaluate them? Cont.

Experimental validation

Given a channel-base current ==>the RSC model must reproduce the corresponding Electromagnetic field

For Natural lightning:

PROBLEM: practically no existing data sets ofsimultaneously measured current and fields

Data of this kind have been collected using

the Triggered lightning technique

Basically, three coupling models have been used:

• Rusck [1958]

• Chowdhuri [1969]

• Agrawal et al. [1980]

Of the three models only the Agrawal one is‘rigorous’ for a general external field excitation

However, for a lightning channel perpendicular tothe ground plane ===> Rusck = Agrawal

3. How to evaluate them? Cont

The contribution of a given electromagnetic fieldcomponent in the coupling mechanism dependsstrongly on the used model.

Thus, when speaking about the contribution of agiven electromagnetic field component to theinduced voltages, one has to specify the coupling

.

3. ? Cont.

Induced voltage magnitude and shape significantlydepend on

• lightning return stroke parameters (channel-basecurrent parameters, return stroke velocity),

• distance and relative position with respect to thetransmission line,

• line configuration and terminations.

Induced overvoltages can reach magnitudes up to fewhundreds of kV and can therefore cause line flashover.

5.How far away can lightning strokes be thatcause an induced voltage flashover ?

Generally within 200 m

However it depends on many parameters(=> computer code)

Lightning strokes occurring beyond a fewhundred meters from the line can cause a lineflashover for poor conducting soils (De LaRosa et al., IEEE Trans. on PWDR, 1988)

8.What arrester spacing is needed to preventflashover?

In order to prevent direct-stroke flashover, arresterspacings of 300-400 m is generally recommended.

For the case of induced flashovers, a givenconfiguration of line arresters can result in differentperformances depending on the location of lightningstrike [29].

Further studies are needed in this respect.

Shield wires help in reducing the magnitude ofinduced voltages by a factor of about 20 to 40 %.

This implies about the same reduction of the faultfrequency.

Ratio between peak values of the induced voltages on a lineconductor Vi and those corresponding

to a single-conductor line of the same height V(hi).

The induced voltage magnitude for typical distributionlines is virtually proportional to the line height.

As a consequence, an important factor determining themagnitude of lightning-induced voltage is the lineheight above ground, rather than the type ofconstruction.

In general, a construction allowing a shorter height forthe conductors is epected to experience lower inducedovervoltages.

11. What effect does pole grounding andground resistivity have ?

Pole grounding affects the performance of the groundwire in reducing the induced overvoltages.

In general, lower the pole ground impedance, betterthe performance of the ground wire.

Influence of pole grounding

1. electromagnetic field

2. propagation of the surges
