ATMOSPHERIC AND COMMUTATION OVERVOLTAGES IN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS

Description

The text complies with the requirements of IEC62305, technical committee IEC81-31 that the surge protection be harmonized with the earthing system. The damage is great and the consequences of the impact on the operation of computer and TT networks and the failure of the control system are difficult to assess due to the destruction of data. In the second part, several chapters present the principles and novelties in the choice of protection against all four types of overvoltages. In addition to the principles of protection against electrical overvoltages, a of terms is also mentioned,(glossary), topicality of coordination of earthing systems and surge protection systems, and special lightning rods. The specifics of transient atmospheric and com-mutation overvoltages, overvoltage protection devices, installation for information devices and protection characteristics for information and computer equipment are especially considered. Bearing in mind the significance of protection of distribution networks, the monograph Having in mind the importance of protection of distribution networks, the monograph includes research of literature and references of authors related to research and development activities. The source literature was published in a monograph.The original literature was published in the umbrella. Based on the current and current research status, a list of possible research topics has also been identified and reported in this paper for future research work in the field of automation of energy distribution. The information given in this paper is useful for electrical engineers and academics involved in the research and development of automation of electricity distribution. Contributions and information given in this monograph are useful to academics involved in research and development activities as well as engineers working in distribution companies. All advantages of network protection are explained: reduced technical and commercial losses, improved cash flow, reduced renewal time of power supply services, reduced equipment damage, better network information availability, better operational planning, remote load management and better energy quality and reliability.
