Abstract: Switching overvoltage may cause the breakdown of power cable or joint box on
combined transmission systems. This paper describes the characteristic of switching transient
overvoltage on 154[kV] combined transmission systems. The switching transient is analysed by
various fault conditions including fault resistance, the amplitude of trapped charge and
underground power cable rate using statistical approach. This paper is also analysed the reduction
effects of switching transient by surge arrester installation.
