Analysis for determining location of arrestors on overhead distribution lines

[rockman7892]

Is anyone aware of an analytical or modeling approach for evaluating location of arrestors on overhead distribution lines? Most approaches I've seen have been ones that utilities have adopted over years or more general "rules of thumb" but was curious if there was an analytical approach using an EMTP program or other method that could be used to provide more of an application specific approach given location and conditions?

If there isn't a recognized analytical approach is there a particular industry standard (IEEE or other) that most follow for the application of arrestors on distribution lines. Location, intervals, at equipment locations, grounding methods, etc...

Thanks for the help.

Maybe this will help: IEEE Std C62.22TM-2009
