    Lightening Protection Using: Lfa-M

    Uploaded by

    Dev Kumar
    This document discusses a modular long flashover arrester (LFA-M) for providing effective and inexpensive lightning protection to medium voltage overhead distribution lines. LFA-M arresters protect lines from both induced overvoltages during lightning strikes and direct lightning strokes. They work by using spark gaps to capture high voltages during lightning and distributing the voltage stress across multiple flashover modules to safely discharge the energy. LFA-M arresters help prevent equipment damage and power outages from lightning strikes.

    INTRODUCTION
    A effective and inexpensive method for
    lightning protection of medium
    voltage overhead distribution line is using
    long flashover arresters (LFA).
    The important feature of modular long
    flashover arrester (LFA-M) is for lightning
    protection of overhead distribution
    line against both induced overvoltage and
    direct lightning strokes
    WHAT IS LIGHTENING STROKE
     Lightning is an
    electrical discharge between cloud and the
    earth.

     Lightning is a huge spark and that take


    place when clouds are charged at a
    high potential with respect to earth object
    (e.g. overhead lines) of low potential .
    WHAT IS LFA-M
     Long flashover arrestors are those devices which
    capture the high voltage sparks resulting out of
    lightening.
     M indicates that LFA-M is for the protection of
    medium overhead transmission lines.
     LFA-M can be applied for lightning protection
    of overhead distribution line against both induced
    over voltages and direct lightning strokes.
     The induced over voltages can be counteracted by
    installing a single arrester on an overhead line support
    (pole). 
     The arresters are connected between the poles and
    all of the phase conductors in parallel with the
    insulators.

     Lightning impulse causes a spark over of the spark
    gaps 
     Then semiconducting core of the upper cable piece,
    whose resistance , carries the high potential to the
    surface of the lower piece at its middle.
     Similarly, the semiconducting core of the lower piece
    of the same resistance applies the low potential 0 to the
    surface of the upper piece, also at its center. 
     Thus the total voltage is applied to each flashover
    module at the same moment, and all the three flashover
    modules 1, 2 and 3 are assured conditions for
    simultaneous initiation of creeping discharges .
    so respective modules flashed over, develop a single
    long flashover channel.
    ADVANTAGE
    LFA-Ms help avoid both conductor burnouts
    and overhead power lines outages .
     Eliminate the consequences of lightning
    flashovers without damaging
    lines and substations equipment, as opposed to
    arcing horns.
     Extend the working life of high voltage circuit
    breakers.
     Protect electric networks against arc
    overvoltages.
     It protect from 0.4 to 33 kv power distribution
    .
    FEATURE EXPANSION
     We can increases the flashover modules.
     The number of flashover modules
    increases by increasing the cable pieces this
    LFA-M can be used for lightning protection of
    very high voltage lines.
     When the modules increases the total
    arrester stressing is distributed these modules
    also. Then it can withstand very high
    over voltages
    CONCLUSION
     The LFA-M is a simple, low weight and
    convenient apparatus.
     To protect a line against induced over voltages;
    a single arrestor must be mounted on a pole.
     A long flashover arrestor (LFA) comprising
    three flashover modules using the
    creeping discharge effect was presented in this
    report. Its resistors assure application of the total
    arrestor-stressing voltage simultaneously to all the
    modules.
