In medium voltage distribution network covered
conductors are used to improve reliability and reduce
interruptions and faults caused by snow, ice, storm and fallen
trees; however covered conductors are more vulnerable than
bare conductors against lightning caused burndown, therefore
arc protection devices should be used. To study covered
conductor overhead lines in case of direct lightning strike
simulation model of covered conductor line and arc protection
device needs is developed and described in this paper with
ATP/EMTP software.
