what is lightning arester?generaly which type of used in
industeries? why its used?

Answer Posted / m.jagadeeshraja

The Lightning Arrester is used to prevent the particular
component(consider Industry, Shops, Home,.. etc). When
clouds collided each other the charger present in clouds are
discharged, when these forms lightning(in terms of MEGA
AMPS)and fall where the low potential areas. So Lightning
Arrester made as low potential and less resistance path so
these charges are DUMPED here.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
