Development process of transmission line lightning accident and main principles and measures of lightning protectionThe development process of lightning accidents on overhead transmission lines and the corresponding protective measures can be illustrated with Figure 2-1.The purpose of line lightning protection is to reduce the lightning trip out rate, so the principle of line lightning protection is to try to prevent the realization of any link in the above development process, so as to avoid long-term power failure caused by lightning. It can be seen that the principle of line lightning protection is: to prevent lightning conductor, to prevent insulation flashover caused by lightning, to prevent power frequency short-circuit arc after lightning flashover, to prevent line interruption of power supply.
