This document discusses types of lightning arresters. It begins by explaining what lightning is and the mechanism of lightning discharge. There are two main types of lightning strokes: direct and indirect. Lightning arresters protect equipment by providing a low resistance path for surges to ground. The main types discussed are rod gap, horn gap, multigap, expulsion, and valve arresters. Valve arresters, which incorporate nonlinear resistors and spark gaps, are most effective and commonly used on high voltage systems above 66kV. The document concludes by mentioning IEC surge arrester testing standards.

This application note discusses practical design of earthing electrodes, including the calculation of earthing resistance for various electrode configurations, the materials used for electrodes and their corrosion performance. Equations are given for many common electrode geometries, including horizontal strips, rods, meshes, cable screens and foundations.
Despite the fact that these formulae are derived under the false assumption that soil is boundless and homogenous and ignore the fact that the ground resistivity changes with moisture content, the values obtained, although approximate, are useful in predicting and optimising performance.

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

5. What is Lightning
“An electric discharge between cloud and earth or
between the charge centers of the some cloud is known as
Lightning”.
Lightning is a huge spark and take place when cloud
are charged to such a high potential (+ve or –ve)
With respect to earth.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
6. Play a major role in lightning
formation
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
7. Mechanism of Lightning Discharge
During the up rush of warm moist air from earth ,the
friction between the air and
tiny particles of water
causes the building up charges.
When drop of water are
formed, the large drop become
positively charged and smaller drop
become negatively charge. When the
Drop of water accumulate, they form
Clouds and hence cloud may be posses

either a positive or negative charge, depending
Upon the charge of drop of water they contain.
the charge on a cloud may become so great
that It may discharge to another cloud or
earth. we call this discharge as lightning . The
thunder which accompanies lightning is due to the
fact that lightning suddenly heats up the air , thereby
causing it to explain. the surrounding air pushes the
explained air back forth causing wave motion of air
which we recognize as thunder .
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
11. Cont…
As the charge acquired by the cloud increases, the
potential between cloud and earth increases and
therefore ,gradient in the air increases.
when the
Potential gradient is sufficient
(5kv/cm to 10kv/cm) to
Break Down the surrounding
air, The lightning stroke
starts.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES) Fig : 03
12. Types of Lightning Strokes
There are two main ways in which a lightning
may strike the power system (e.g. overhead line or
tower, sub-station etc.)
1. Direct stroke
2. Indirect stroke
Direct stroke: In the direct stroke, the lightning
discharge is directly from cloud to the subject equipment, like
overhead line or other surface.
The overvoltage set up due to the stroke may
be large enough to flashover this path directly to the ground.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
13. Indirect stroke
Indirect stroke: Indirect
strokes result from the electro statically
induced charges on the conductors due to
the Presence of charge
clouds. A positive charge cloud is above the
line and induces a negative
charge on the line by electrostatic induction
This negative charge , however , will be
only On that portion of the line right under
the cloud and the portion of the line away
from, it will be positive charge.
When the cloud discharge to earth
or an other cloud ,the negative on the wire
is isolate as it cannot floe quickly to earth
over the isolator. Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES) Fig:04
14. Lightning Arresters
“A lightning arrester is a protective device which
Conducts the high voltage surges on the power system to the
ground”.
The earthing screen and ground wires can well protect the
electric system against direct lightning strokes but the fail to
provide protection against traveling waves which may be
reach the terminal apparatus.
the lightning arresters or surge diverters
provide protection against such surges.

“The property of the non-linear
Resistant is that its resistance
decreases as the voltage or current
Increases”.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
16. Types of Lightning Arresters
There are several type of lightning arrester in general use.
They differ only in constructional details but operate the same
principle viz. providing low resistant path for surge to ground.
We shell discuss the following types.
1. Rod gap lightning arrester
2. Horn gap lightning arrester
3. Multigap lightning arrester
4. Expulsion type lightning arrester
5. Valve type lightning arrester
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
17. 1. Rod gap lightning arrester
Rod gap lightning arrester. It is a very
simple type of diverter and consist of two rods. One is
connected to the line and other on to earth. the distant
between gap and insulator must not be less then one-third of
the gap length so that the arc may reach the insulator and
damage it.
“Under normal operating conditions, the gap remains
non-conducting . On the occurrence of a high voltage surge on
the line , the gap sparks over and the surge current is
conducted to earth .in this way ,excess change on the line due
to the surge is harmlessly conducted to earth”.

19. Limitations of rod type
The rod may malt or damaged due to excessive heat
produced by the are.
The climatic conditions
(e.g. rain, humidity, temperature etc.) affect the
performance of rod gap arrester.
The polarity of surge also affected the performance of
this arrester.
“Due to the above limitations the rod type
arrester is only used as a ‘Back-up’ protection in case of
main arrester”.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
20. 2.Horn gap lightning arrester
It consist two horn shaped metal rod
A and B separated by a small air gap. the Horns are
so constructed that distance between them gradually
increased.
one end is connected to the line through
resistance R and choke coil L while the other is
connected to effectively grounded .The resistance R
helps in limiting in follow current to a small value.
the choke coil is designed that it offers small
reactance at normal power frequency but a very high
reactance at transient frequency.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
22. Advantages
The arc is self clearing. therefore this type of arresters
does not cause short circuiting of the system after the
surge is over in the case of rod gap.
Series resistance helps in limiting the follow current to
a small value.
Note : “This type of arrester is not reliable and
can only be used a second line of defense like the rod
gap arrester”.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
23. 3.Multigap lightning arrester
It consist of series of metallic cylinders insulated from
one another and separated small intervals of air gaps.
First cylinder A in series is connected to the line and
other to be ground through series resistance. the series
resistance limits the power arc.
By the inclusion of series resistance the degree of
protection against travelling wave is reduced. In order to
overcome this difficulty some of gap(B to C) are shunted
by resistance. such type arresters can be employed where
system voltage does not exceed 33kv.

25. 4.Expulsion type arresters
This type of arrester is also called “protector tube
"and is commonly used on system operating up to
33kv.
It is essentially consist of rod gap AB in series with a
second gap enclosed in a fiber tube. this gap in the
fiber tube is formed by two electrodes.
The upper electrode is connected to rod gap and
lower is earthed. One expulsion arrester is placed
under each line conductor.

27. Advantages
They are not very expensive.
They can easily installed.
They are improved form of rod gap arrestor as they
block flow of power frequency follow currents.
Limitations
this type of arrester can not be mounted in an enclosed
equipment due to discharge of gases during operation.
due to poor voltampere characteristics of the arrester it
is not suitable for protection expensive equipment.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
28. 5.Valve type arrestor
Valve type arrester incorporate non linear resistor
and extensively used on system , operating at high
voltages.
It consist of two assemblies (1)series spark gap
(2)non linear resistor disc in series
The non linear elements are connected in series with
the spark gaps and earth.

30. Working
On the occurrence of an over voltages, the break
down of series spark gap takes place and the surge
current is conducted to earth via non linear resistor.
Since the magnitude of surge current is very large the
non linear elements offer a very low resistance the
passage of surge.
The result, surge will rapidly go to earth instead go
back over the line.
When surge is over the non linear resistor to stop
flow of current.
Engr.Muhammad Younis (MSEES)
31. Advantages
They provide very effective protection (especially for
transformers and cables) against surges.
They operate very rapidly less than second.
Applications
Station type used for protection of important power
