Title: Lightning protection of distribution systems. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5907572

Analyses are presented of experimental data obtained in the Tampa Bay area during 1978 and 1979 concerning the physical and phenomenological properties of lightning and the interaction of that lightning with the local distribution power systems. Specific results are given regarding: (1) the physical and phenomenology properties of lightning in the Tampa Bay area and its relation to lightning elsewhere; (2) measurement and theory concerning lightning-induced voltages on distribution lines; (3) distribution system operation in the presence of lightning and analytical modeling and prediction of that operation.
