Development of a new class of lightning protection devices for medium- and high-voltage grids using impulse quenching.

Short description (English)

Abstract (German)

he multi-chamber system (MCS) produced by Streamer International provides a simple, reliable, and cost effective device for lightning protection of power lines. The goal of the project is o significantly extend the market of the MCS by exploring a newly discovered effect known as mpulse quenching. To this end, a physical model of the device will be developed using a combination of physical experiments and numerical simulations.
