Abstract:-Lightning is a natural phenomenon that can cause significant damage to transmission lines.
The overvoltage caused by lightning strikes can lead to insulation failure, which can result in equipment
damage, service interruption, and in some cases, fatalities. In order to protect the transmission lines
from lightning-induced overvoltage, various techniques and protective devices have been developed. The
use of light storm overvoltage (LSOV) technology is one of the most effective methods for protecting
transmission lines from lightning strikes. This review paper aims to study and evaluate the LSOV
technology for the protection of transmission lines.
The review paper provides an overview of the LSOV technology and its principles of operation. The
paper analyzes the various types of LSOV technology, such as shield wires, surge arresters, and surge
protectors, and their advantages and limitations. The study evaluates the performance of LSOV
technology in protecting transmission lines against lightning strikes based on various parameters, such
as voltage, current, frequency, and duration of the overvoltage.
Furthermore, the review paper discusses the different testing methods and standards used to evaluate the
effectiveness of LSOV technology. The paper also highlights the challenges and limitations of the LSOV
technology, such as installation costs, maintenance, and reliability..
