Lightning Arrester Discharge Currents

Abstract

DURING the last five years an investigation has been made of the discharge currents of a number of 38,000-volt lightning arresters. The transmission system on which these arresters were installed is operated with its neutral point earthed through Peterson coils; the lines are not equipped with overhead ground wires. The earth lead of each single-phase arrester was equipped with a pair of magnetic links. In addition, paper-puncturing recorders were used to indicate when arresters had operated.
