Abstract

The lightning rod cables of transmission lines are elements intended to protect against lightning discharges, but what determines their sizing is the current to be drained during a fault to the earth. This article presents a methodology to establish, quickly and accurately, the gauge and exchange points of the lightning conductors of transmission lines, through the simulation of the system and analysis of the single-phase short-circuit currents using the Alternative Transients Program (ATP) as a tool.
