In this chapter, the major mechanisms by which overvoltages are stemmed from lightning were discussed. Particular emphasis was given to the voltages nduced on overhead LV networks by nearby strokes and to those transferred from the MV system, which are the most important ones on account of their magnitudes and frequencies of occurrence. Simple and effective models were used to represent the high frequency behaviour of typical distribution transformers and LV power installations
