Comparative performance of medium voltage overhead distribution lines designs submitted to induced voltages
The aim of this paper is to present the results of the performance study of medium voltage overhead distribution lines against lightning discharges, in the way to define methodologies to reduce the system failures. The results are obtained within the partnership among the High Voltage Laboratory of the Federal University of Itajubá, AES Sul Utility Company and the University of Bologna. The resultant performance is presented in terms of expected faults for 100 km of line for a density of discharges to the ground (GDF) of 1 discharge/km2/year. Commentaries on the relative performance and comparisons of different construction configurations of overhead lines are presented. ©2007 IEEE.
