Because the causes of transmission line faults are not known clearly at present, this paper
proposes fault classification for transmission lines, and analyses the characteristics of …

This paper proposes the application of a recursive stratified sampling technique for
improving the assessment of the lightning performance of power distribution lines through …

This paper aims to present a novel proposed formula, along with technical viewpoints, to
solve the problem of transmission lines outage rate due to back-flashover phenomena in …

This paper deals with the assessment of the lightning performance of a medium voltage
(MV) power line sharing the same poles of a high voltage (HV) line. We focus on the case of …

This paper presents an approximate formula for the peak-value of the lightning overvoltages
induced on aerial lines installed over high resistivity ground, which is valid up to 10 kΩ m …

The paper compares the effect that the shield wire, underbuilt grounded conductor, and
surge arresters have on the direct and indirect lightning performance of medium voltage …

Overhead distribution systems can be strongly affected and damaged by indirect lightning.
The induced voltages are usually computed neglecting the surrounding geometry and the …

Lightning activity is often one of the major causes of voltage transient disturbances and
interruptions in distribution networks. Although important researches have been performed …

Distribution lines located in areas with high ground flash densities are prone to lightning-
caused power interruptions. Lightning overvoltages can be produced on medium-voltage …

This paper is treated with the lightning overvoltages (LOVs) applied to the roof oil tanks in
low voltage distribution systems. Since the oil tanks and electric distribution towers are not …
