Σύνοψη

The efforts of this project is directed solely at understanding and enhancing the protection of power
systems against lightning surges. Though the problem of overvol tage surges on power systems come from various
sources, lightning surges form the main topic in this
text, but a few references to switching surges were made
because of some technical similari ties and even overlap in some cases.
The approach followed in this project is one of first
understanding the phenomenon of lightning, investigating existing solutions and then examination and analysis of a practical case to which references and improvements were suggested. The practical case under investigation is the lightning protection policy currently followed by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus.
Bear in mind however that solutions to the problem is not
easy to come by, because given the mysterious nature of
the phenomenon, guaranteed solutions can only be obtained after the proposed solution is put into practice. With this in mind, some of the proposed improvements and suggestions were drawn from the EAC engineers who with heir vast experience are best placed to make suggestions.
It is therefore hoped that this project will not only
provide useful reference to the EAC but will also
contribute to the quest for protection of power systems
against this mysterious phenomenon.
OBJECTIVES
1. Το study the various problems produced by lightning
strokes.
2. Το study the various methods of dealing with problems
