Protection Measures Against Lightning in Aerial Cables

lightning in overhead cables

as a natural phenomenon, lightning is generated for various reasons. During the frequent annual lightning season, power lines can be significantly affected.

Las 10KV overhead lines are subject to direct and induced lightning, that can generate very high voltages and cause surges in overhead cables.

The lightning surge is usually much higher than the allowable voltage of the line. The lack of protection measures against lightning can easily cause it to strike the insulation., which can lead to fractures at weak points. Serious damage to electrical equipment leads to unnecessary safety accidents.

Post Insulators and Suspension Insulators

Post Insulators

insulating post: is a special cable insulation control, an electrical material, which can play an important role in the overhead cables of transmission.

In the first days, post insulators were used primarily for electrical poles.

They gradually developed from the end of high-type high-voltage electrical cable connection towers with many suspended insulators., which were usually made of silica gel or ceramic to increase creepage distance. They are called insulators..
