Abstract

An experimental stand for investigating and testing lightning protection devices for aerial power lines is described. The stand is composed of an oscillation circuit modeling a power line with an industrial frequency of 50 Hz, a voltage of up to 10 kV, and a current amplitude in the circuit as high as 10 kA; a generator of short single current pulses with a voltage of up to 25 kV and a current amplitude of up to 30 kA, modeling a lightning discharge; and commutation, control, and diagnostic systems. The stand is used to investigate elements of multi-chamber arrester systems for protecting high-voltage overhead lines.
