The MULTIFLASH program was developed to permit computation of simultaneous multiphase or multiple-circuit lightning flashover of transmission lines, including prediction of the probabilities of flashover of up to 12 phases on one transmission tower. Either ac, dc, or any combination of ac and dc can be evaluated. The algorithms are developed to handle tower geometries so that designs can be evaluated for minimizing the likelihood of simultaneous double-circuit lightning flashover. As originally developed, the program was an extension of the method described in Chapter 12 of the EPRI Transmission Line Reference Book - 345 kV and above, which was itself embodied in the computer program FLASH developed and made available through the IEEE Working Group on Lightning Performance of Transmission Lines.
