← TechnologyWhich protection measure limits voltage surge damage from lightning strikes on electrical transmission systems?
A)Installing surge arresters divert current✓
B)Over-sizing transformer core's laminations
C)Applying higher conductor tensioning
D)Increasing right-of-way clearance margins
💡 Explanation
Installing surge arresters employs transient voltage suppression, because a lower impedance path shunts the excess current to ground protecting downstream equipment; therefore, voltage is limited, rather than tolerating a larger magnetic field or physical effects.
