The direct lightning and induced lightning over-voltage calculation model of 10 kV distribution line near the substation is built. The lightning protection measures of the distribution line near the substation are proposed. The over-voltage in the substation entry under the direct lightning and induced lightning is gotten. The performance of the lightning protection and the over-voltage inhibitory effect in the substation entry are analyzed. Results show that the over-voltage in the substation entry can be reduced greatly after the bus arrester is installed. The lightning withstand levelf of the line can be improved by erecting ground wire. After the ground wire is erected, and the over-voltage peak in the substation entry is reduced by 73% and 28% under the action of direct lightning and induced lightning, respectively. After the insulated line is installed, the quantity and location of the arresters have a big effect on the lightning withstand levelf and the over-voltage gradient in the substation entry. When the arrester is located both ends of the insulated line, the over-voltage inhibitory effect in the substation entry is better and the induced lightning over-voltage peak can be reduced by about 52%. The researches can give a reference to put forward the protection scheme of the overhead distribution line near the substation.
