Abstract
The lightning performance of 63 kV and 90 kV shielded and unshielded l ines, protected by line surge arresters are considered. A specialized software package is used for the computation of the line fast front tr ansients. A Monte Carlo statistical method, together with a three-dime nsional electrogeometric model is used to determine the lightning stro ke locations. Different arrester installation configurations are analy zed and compared. The energy duties of the line surge arresters are co mputed statistically.
