at frequentintervals. An induced stroke is simply an abnormally high potentialwhich is developed in the electrical system, due to inductionby the lightning discharge. Since induced strokes are muchmore common than direct strokes, suitable lightning-protectiveapparatus is usually installed in power… … Fig. 296. — The principle of a Ground^lightning protector. Conneeti the high-voltage wave due to lightning comes along the line L,It has a tendency to force a current to the earth along thepath of least resistance. If no protective apparatus is afforded,this path would doubtless be through the…
