Lightning Protection Substation: 15KV to 115KV
IEEE 998 lightning shielding parameters for outdoor substations using the rolling sphere / electrogeometric model (EGM). Includes striking distance, rolling sphere radius, shielding mast heights, shield wire heights, and maximum horizontal separation by voltage class and BIL.
| voltage class | bil kV (kV) | max horizontal separation ft (ft) | protection angle deg (degrees) | rolling sphere radius ft (ft) | standard | striking distance ft (ft) | typical mast height above bus ft (ft) | typical shield wire height ft (ft) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25KV | 150 | 30 | 45 | 48 | IEEE 998-2012 | 48 | 25 | 30 |
| 38KV | 200 | 35 | 45 | 57 | IEEE 998-2012 | 57 | 30 | 35 |
| 69KV | 350 | 50 | 45 | 80 | IEEE 998-2012 | 80 | 40 | 50 |
| 115KV | 550 | 65 | 45 | 106 | IEEE 998-2012 | 106 | 55 | 65 |
