  • Abstract
    SOME 10 or 12 years ago effective lightning protection began to be applied to transmission lines, and, about the same time, an inexpensive measuring device (the surge-crest ammeter) was developed.1 On one transmission system this low-cost device has been applied to every structure in entire lines and has produced definite numerical evidence of the performance of the protection provided.
