Abstract
This study presents a comparative of lightning performance study conducted on transmission lines by using Electromagnetic Transient Program that is Power System Computer Aided Design (PSCAD) software. The line performance is investigated by injecting the surge current to the transmission line acting as a direct strike from lightning to a line phase conductor. In order to improve the lightning performance of the line, Metal Oxide Surge Arresters (MOSA) is introduced using different voltage rating based on the Typical Arrester Ratings for System Voltages Table. Results are investigated and the influence of arrester voltage rating to transmission lines metal oxide surge arrester at different conductor tower of transmission line is discussed. Findings from this investigation can be significant as a modeling guideline to the transmission line designers or other researchers to improve the performance of transmission line in term of reducing the rate of switching surge overvoltage by implementing suitable arrester voltage rating to their system.
