Which 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.
