Abstract :
The first phase of the problem of lightning protection of power systems from the damaging effects of lightning has been completed. A working knowledge of the parameters of the transients which may be applied to lines or apparatus as the result of lightning storms is now available from studies of natural lightning and its effects in various parts of the world through the use of devices especially designed for the purpose.
