Abstract
LIGHTNING FAULTS on high-voltage transmission lines are due exclusively to direct strokes to the line. Faults on distribution lines operating below 33 kv may be caused in addition by indirect strokes which strike the ground near the line or which contact an earthed (grounded) part of the line without causing back flashover.
