Ligthning Arrester

[cduranph]

We are currently designing a 34.5kV Indoor Load Interrupter switchgear. Our question, is it normal to install surge arrester to its feeder LBS? If yes, what is the right surge arrester class shall we use? distribution or station class arrester?

Would appreciate your reply.

This site may be of some help. http://www.ecmweb.com/mag/electric_arrest_lightning_protection/
But this site is a presentation of lighting arresters workshop by Cooper to the The Tennessee Valley Public Power Association (TVPPA)which I think is not only very educational but will provide you of the questions that need to be answered in order to select the right arrester for your application.
