Research conclusions: The three lines of defense should be built for the lighting protection for the substation to avoid the hit of the lighting strike to the substation devices, and the three level prevention should be built for avoiding the appearances of the failures of the low-voltage devices of the substation caused by the rising earth potential or the induced voltage and the induced current. Also the measures should be taken for the earthing system to make it in the good working state The lighting protection engineering for the substation should have the means mentioned above.
