Lightning Protection using Ground wires
Ground Wire conductor run parallel to the main conductor of line supported on the same tower and earthed at every equally and regularly spaced towers.It is run above main lineShielding angle θs ≈ 300was considered adequate for tower heights of 30m or less.Number of shielding wires is depends upon the type of tower usedPresent trend in fixing the tower heights and shielding angles is by considering the “flashover rates” and failure probabilities.
