Arc overvoltages in a 35 kV mixed air-cable electrical network

Distribution networks with a voltage of 35 kV are mostly used to supply electricity consumers located in rural areas. These networks, which mainly have overhead lines, normally function according to the radial principle, although in most cases they are closed or with two-way power. In recent years, the structure of 35 kV electric network has been changing, they are being transformed from aerial to aerial- cable due to the construction of 35 kV cable lines in rural areas, which in most cases are performed with cables with cross-linked polyethylene insulation.
