Technical FAQs 4

How to protect a UHV substation from a lightning strike?

The direct lightning strike protection is usually achieved using lightning rods or wires. The calculation of the protection range of lightning rods or wires for UHV substations and converter stations may be performed using the same method as that for 500-kV substations.

What is a lightning protection system (LPS)?

3.2.3 lightning protection system (LPS): Complete system used to reduce physical damage due to lightning flashes to a structure. NOTE – An LPS consists of both external and internal lightning protection system.

What is lightning protection level (LPL)?

The lightning protection level (LPL) is generally recommended to be LPL1, which is the highest level of protection. Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of current. The lightning parameters are peak current, flash charge, specific energy and average steepness. The value of the lightning current varies from very low up to 250 kA.

How to prevent lightning intruding in a substation?

Installing metal oxide arresters (MOAs) in the substation is another major measure to limit the lightning intruding overvoltage. MOAs installed on either the bus side or the line side in a 1000-kV substation all have a rated voltage of 828 kV, nominal discharge current of 20 kA, and lightning protection level of 1620 kV.
