This steep-fronted waveform carries some adverse effects Travelling wave will shatter the insulation
Accumulation of charges & insulation break down
Oscillation of line
Protective Devices
From the previous explanation it is seen that the lightning
effect may be more hazardous, disrupts the power
deliberation procedure. So, to protect these from damaging,
some protective devices must be installed. These are Earth Screen:
Earth screen is basic and expensive equipment
protectors, made by constructing a network of copper
conductors mounted all over the electrical equipments .
Recloser:
Lightning Arrester:
In previous explanation, earth
screen and ground wire can
well protect the overvoltage but
not travelling wave that is
obstructed by using lightning
arresters.
In addition it is able to divert the
high voltage surge towards
ground.

Conclusion
From
the
earlier discussion, we can conclude that
protection must be needed for welfare of power system and
to provide endless deliberation system. So, these protective
devices should be perfect and more efficient. Thats why
modern technology is being used to cut down voltage as
maximum as possible.
