Abstract
It may seem strange that the subject of lightning protection for transmission lines is receiving so much attention on the part of electrical engineers, since lightning protective devices have nothing whatever to do with the ordinary operating characteristics of a transmission system. However, the reliability of a line is often dependent upon its adequate protection from lightning-discharges and in some sections of the country satisfactory service would be out of the question without such protection.
