Rocket-triggered Lightning Experiment and Application Study of transmission Line for Metal Oxide Surge Arresters

摘要

In the measurement of the rocket-triggered lightning current and voltage, executed from 1986 to 1995 at mou- ntain top of Okushishiku in Kanazawa areas, the authors succeeded in artificially inducing the winter lightning to the arresters, Using the data obtained in those measurements, we analyzed the energy absorption characteris- tics of surge arresters, which are installed on every tower of transmission line for three phases, by EMTP.
