The article points out the drawback of all the current instructions for the lightning protection device: the lack of instructions for calculating the lightning protection zones of an object located on a slope. The methods of applying the current instructions for the lightning protection device when placing an object on a slope are given, based on the assumption that lightning strikes the lightning rods vertically and perpendicular to the slope. The features of the choice of lightning protection characteristics (calculated points of the protected object, calculated heights of lightning rods, methods of constructing lightning protection zones) are described. A method for calculating the lightning protection zones of an object located on a slope is proposed, based on the assumption that lightning strikes lightning rods perpendicular to the slope, in particular, the concept of the axis of a conditional lightning rod shifted on the object plan for calculating lightning protection zones is introduced. The consequences of the application in engineering practice of the methodology for calculating the lightning protection zones of an object located on a slope, based on the assumption that lightning strikes the lightning rods perpendicular to the slope, are indicated. Using a pulse voltage generator, tests were performed on a model of a lightning rod located on a slope in order to determine the direction of lightning strikes-vertical or perpendicular to the slope. It was determined experimentally that the proposed method for calculating the lightning protection zones of an object located on a slope, based on the assumption that lightning strikes lightning rods perpendicular to the slope, should be used in cases where the protected objects are located on slopes with an angle of more than 25°.

This work presents the feasibility study of an on-line monitoring technique aimed to discover unwanted variations of longitudinal impedance along the line (also named “impedance discontinuities”) and, possibly, incipient faults typically occurring on high voltage power transmission lines, like those generated by oxidated midspan joints or bolted joints usually present on such lines. In this paper, the focus is placed on the application and proper customization of a technique based on the time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technique when applied to an in-service high-voltage overhead line. An extensive set of numerical simulations are provided in order to highlight the critical points of this particular application scenario, especially those that concern the modeling of both the TDR signal injection strategy and the required high-voltage coupling devices, and to plan a measurement activity. The modeling and simulation approach followed for the study of either the overhead line or the on-line TDR system is fully detailed, discussing three main strategies. Furthermore, some measurement data that were used to characterize the specific coupling device selected for this application at high frequency—that is, a capacitive voltage transformer (CVT)—are presented and discussed too. This work sets the basic concepts underlying the implementation of an on-line remote monitoring system based on reflectometric principles for in-service lines, showing how much impact is introduced by the high-voltage coupling strategy on the amplitude of the detected reflected voltage waves (also named “voltage echoes”).
