Abstract :
The use of model techniques to assist in the design of a 500-kv transmission line is shown. These techniques supplemented full-scale tests and theoretical calculations. Transient Network Analyzer (TNA) models were used to establish levels of switching-surge overvoltages; and nano-second geometrical models of conductors and towers, combined with a Monte Carlo lightning performance computer program, gave estimates of the transmission-line lightning performance.
