چکیده
VI-1 Abstract – In conducting analysis of systems that have failed as a result of lightning and transients, we have observed repeated incidences associated with corrugated flexible tubing. The nature and frequency of lightning strokes is considered. The failure process is investigated. Standards and articles provide adequate minimum design for installation. Ten areas of electrical systems correlate to lightning impact. These are (1) jacket thickness, (2) wall thickness, (3) cathodic cell, (4) high frequency impedance, (5) wire size, (6) number of grounding connections, (7) bonding, (8) voltage levels, (9) damage at high levels, and (10) electromagnetic waveguide. Actual photos illustrate lightning interaction on a charged metal surface, transfer of energy to a pipe system, exit damage on a pipe, and intense arcing on a grounding electrode conductor.

In this paper, genetic algorithm-based approach for transient analysis of single transmission line connected to arrester is proposed. In this approach, the lightning channel striking the overhead line is first represented by a current source and this source is truncated by a finite set of frequency harmonies in time domain. Norton equivalent circuit viewed across arrester is then computed by me...
