Abstract: To address the issue of coordination failure in multi-stage surge protective devices (SPDs) under lightning surges in communication power systems, this study employs traveling wave propagation theory and electromagnetic transient simulations using the PSCAD/EMTDC platform. It systematically evaluates how lightning strike location, interstage cable length, and load type affect energy coordination and overvoltage response in a two-stage SPD configuration. By combining time-domain and frequency-domain analysis, the coupling mechanism of SPD conduction timing is revealed. There exists a critical length for the interstage cable to ensure coordinated operation of the SPDs. This critical length decreases with increasing surge intensity but increases significantly with greater lightning strike distance. Incorporating an appropriate series inductor can provide the necessary time delay, serving as an alternative to using a long cable. For capacitive loads, although an excessively short cable can reduce the amplitude of oscillatory voltage spikes, it aggravates the surge steepness, thereby stressing the SPD. These oscillations can be effectively suppressed by installing a damping resistor in front of the SPD2. Furthermore, the study reveals a strong coupling between energy coordination and overvoltage behavior under capacitive load conditions, indicating that the two must be jointly optimized. The parameter configurations and practical recommendations presented offer quantitative design guidance for SPD selection, cable layout, and resonance suppression in communication power systems.
