Rating of Lighting Arrestor:
- Size of L.A = 1.5 X Phase to Earth Voltage OR
- Size of L.A =1.5 X system Voltage/1.732 OR
- Size of L.A = 0.81 X highest System Voltage
Lighting Arrestor Protection Radius:
- Protection Radius (Rp) = Sqrt (H X (2D-H)+L(2D+L))
- H= Actual Height of L.A
- D= 20 meter, 40 meter or 60 meter
- L= V X T (T=Discharge Time & V= 1m/ms)
Creepage Distance:
- 18 mm to 22 mm /KV for Moderate Polluted Air.
- 25 mm to 33 mm /KV for Heavily Polluted Air.
- In HVDC System The value is double from above value.

Thank u very much for providing valuable material. It is very helpful to me.
Thanks for this upload
Thanks a lot Mr: Jignesh. The datas was very helpful
Asif KM
Saudi Electricity Company
very very good!!!
very helpful..
I have request could you please provide the standard/code reference for Earthing Resistance Values.
Thanks in advance.
Earthing Resistance Value:
Power Station = 0.5 ohm.
Sub Station Major=1.0 ohm.
Sub Station Minor=2.0 ohm.
Distribution T/C=5.0 ohm.
Transmission Line=10 ohm.
As per My knowledge.There is not exact value for Earthing Resistance in any Standard ,It depend upon Soil but There is a guideline in Some Code that it should be less than 5 ohm and in some code it is given less than 10 ohm.
sir, what is your reference standard here ?
hi!
i want know how to calculate the LA (lightining Arrestor) rated voltage.
any formula
Would you please to told me what’s meaning GERC and CBIP??
Thanks a lot
GERC =Gujarat electricity Regulation Commission
CBIP=Central Beau of Irrigation and Power
Its very good. Thank you very much.
could i get a detailed article on power transformer testing including the purpose
hi
VERY INFORMATIVE .PLEASE PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT PROTECTION DIAGRAMS
Dear Sir , we are thankful to you for the exhaustive information u provide in collective manner. Pl provide some article on DC Battery chargers & DC Batteries used in EHV sub stations.
Thank u, it is very useful
than u ,
i need megger value is any standard.
Do you have any formula for calculate clearance phase to phase ,phase to earth ,sectional clearance without reference of standards
Not for have Formula for Phase to Phase but For Grounding Clearance You may use
Ground Clearance:
CL= 5.812 + 0.305 X K
CL= Ground Clearance in Meter.
K= (Volt-33)/33
hello sir,
I would like to go through a simplified, detailed substation design procedure guide. Please help me in this regard.
can u tell me about sub conductor spacing in twin zebra conductor
Dear Sir
thank you for above article
can you please tell or mail me the types of tests performed in substation or detailed notes on testing and commissioning methods carried din substation
dear sir, i need your help i am doing a 220 kV s/s project in tanzinia pl tell me what Clarence i should kept . can i used CBIP ???
i need one information why choose in twin conductor in susstation
dear sir,
i need the substation design calculation formula
Sir how the ratings of lightning arrester is decided????
I very much appreciate the valuable data being provided by you and your knowledge. Please respond to my following queries:
1. Why 02 nos. Surge Arresters are normally used in a 145 kV or more voltage level in a single bay of GIS switch-gear?
2. Kindly also refer international applicable standard(s) against values/data being provided by you.
Regards,
Waqas Khalid
Sir name And type of holo conductor used in 132 KV yard
hii sir i think there is some mistakes in minimum clearance table ( 400 KV phase to phase clearance only 40 cm and in 220kv 20 cm and in 132kv 12cm )
Thanks for your valuable information
Size of L.A =1.5 X system Voltage/1.732 , why we have to multiple 1.5?
please tell me the minimum distance between tower and gantry with rule
What is the minimum ground clearance from 5MVA power transformer bushings
