Abstract Service unavailability of transmission lines, due to the direct and indirect lightning
strikes, is evaluated as a challenging issue within electric companies. The lightning event …

The service continuity of the distribution electrical network faces challenges. Among these
challenges is the provision of protection against surge arrester failure, in which it is …

Direct lightning strikes on overhead lines and towers causes power system outages. Optimal
surge arrester placement is a practical and economical protection technique. From research …

Surge arresters are usually used to protect distribution feeders against randomly distributed
lightning overvoltages. However, there is a probability of surge arrester failure due to an …

The new extra high voltage overhead lines and substations have increased the overvoltage
phenomenon in the electrical interconnected system, especially in high voltage circuit …

Lightning overvoltage causes outages of transmission lines (TLs) in tropical countries.
