This study analyzes the effects of other conductors in a multiconductor overhead line on the voltages induced on a conductor by a nearby lightning strike, based on the previous studies on long single-conductor overhead lines. The presence of other conductors affects the induced voltage of a conductor, particularly for vertically configured lines; however, the amount is less than that originally predicted. Ground wires reduce the magnitude of the induced voltages, thus acting as partial shields.
