Scaled experiment and calculation of induction lightning overvoltage on distribution line

The insulation level of 10kV power distribution line is low, which is vulnerable to the direct lightning and induction lightning. Lightning is one of the important reasons for the accident of distribution network. In order to reduce lightning accidents and improve the power supply reliability of distribution network, it is important in theoretic and engineering to run the simulation and real-model experiment of induction lightning overvoltage on the distribution line, which is able to get real lighting data to provide a basis for the simulation of lightning overvoltage. In the paper, the basis idea of the simulation experiment is introduced first. Then, a rational experiment plan is designed according to our aim. Finally, the result of our experiment and simulation is compared, which can confirm the validity of the experiment.
