Modular Long Flashover Resistor Discussions

About 30-40% of power outages around the world are caused due to the lightening. The transmission lines are subjected to both direct lightning strokes and induced over voltages. Of these, the contribution of lightning towards the disruption of power flow is more. To protect transmission lines from the lightning and induced over voltages, separate protective schemes are essential according to the conventional protective design. Surge absorbers protect the lines from induced over voltages whereas lightning arrestors are used to bypass the lightning stroke to ground. With the advent of Modular Long Flash over Arrestor or LFA-M, we no more need separate arrangements for the above two problems.
