The problem of lightning protection of medium-voltage (MV) networks has been seriously reconsidered in recent years due to the proliferation of sensitive loads and the increasing demand by customers for good quality in the power supply. Overvoltages originated by lightning are indeed a major cause of flashovers on overhead power lines.
a low-voltage network: • a power plant up to 500 kW - at the low volt-age line or low voltage buses of 10 (20) / 0.4 kV substation, • a power plant up to 100 kW - at the low volt-age line. 2. a medium-voltage network (10, 20, 30, 35 kV): • a power plant up to 1000 kW - at the medium voltage line, • a power plant over 1000 kW - at the medium
Transgressions in voltage levels, such as VU, are more identified in the LVDN due to the irregular distribution of loads per phase, which varies constantly, and in addition to these factors, energy is injected through single-phase solar generators [8], [9], [11], [12], [14], [32].These anomalies affect the operation and can cause the burning of electronic equipment,
