Discussion at Spring convention: Frequency conversion by third class conductor and mechanism of the arcing ground and other cumulative surges: Voltages induced by arcing grounds

H. R. Woodrow: In both papers, the maximum surge potentials have been given neglecting the absorption of our systems, and I believe experience would show that the actual potential rise is less than that given in either one of the two papers particularly on underground systems. This factor has been brought out in connection with some tests which have recently been conducted and which I hope someone will discuss later.
