A study of the engineering model of lightning strokes and its application to unshielded transmission lines

A model is developed for determining the frequency, the characteristics, and the spatial distribution of the lightning flashes terminating on power lines, both the shielded and the unshielded types. The model takes into consideration the existence of the towers, the sag of the conductors, and the in...
