Design Consideration of the Shielding Wire in 10 kV Overhead Distribution Lines Against Lightning-Induced Overvoltage

This paper presents a systematic investigation into the performance of a shielding wire on 10 kV overhead lines (OHLs) against indirect lightning, from the design point of view. The design parameters addressed include the grounding interval, grounding resistance, and position of the shielding wire. As a system outage is usually caused by insulator flashover at OHL poles under indirect lightning, t...
