The overhead ground wire of AC 150mm² is applied for the large-size transmission lines. According to inspections of transmission lines, melted component wires of AC 150mm² have been found in some parts of 500kV transmission lines and it is obvious that the damages have been caused by lightning. Hence, the authors have developed lightning-resistant overhead ground wires as well as being evaluated lightning-resistant performance of the conventional AC 150mm². In the paper, firstly, it is reported on the lightning performance of the conventional AC 150mm² resulting from a DC arc test which is considered the polarity of currents and injected current waveforms for summer and winter lightning. As a result, the least amount of electric charges which can melt the components of the conventional wire was 180C. Then, the paper outlines the improvement of lightning performance of the overhead ground wire. Some kinds of developed ground wires as a trial piece have been proposed and tested, and here presented the characteristics of two typical developed wires among them. One is coated with conductive ceramic on the outer components and the another is enlarged a diameter of outer components. Both types of the wires show the excellent lightning performance from the DC arc test, comparing with the conventional ground wire of AC 150mm².
