Abstract
Lightning is the discharging of high-voltage charged cells within clouds to earth other or to the earth. Lightning protection grounding is essential for the protection of buildings, distribution lines, and electrical equipment from lightning surges. Equipment grounding is for the purpose of controlling the voltage to earth within predictable limits. This paper investigates the effects of lightning arrester grounding resistance by analysing the neutral to earth voltages and arrester break down voltages when the lightning strike hits the distribution line. The case study was simulated numerically and graphically through the use of the EDSA software program.
