Abstract
Although lightning surges of as high as 5,000 kv. have been recorded, only about ten per cent of these have crest voltages of more than seven times normal line voltage. One important result of recent investigations is the proof that a direct stroke can occur to a tower or ground wire without causing a flashover.
