Abstract

The event that some lightning rod was fractured and collapsed at the tubular joint of lightning rod occurred in some transformer substation recently. The stress concentration at the tubular joint area was the main reason which caused this failure. This paper proposed the solution to recover the collapsed lightning rod and the method to strengthen the lightning rod with normal operation. The finite analysis was conducted for recovered and strengthened lightning rod by using finite element software ABAQUS. The results indicate that the proposed solutions are practical and safe and can guarantee the normal operation of substation.
