  • Abstract
    A sensitivity study of the lightning flashover rate of transmission lines is presented in this paper. The study is aimed at analyzing the influence of the tower model on the flashover rate derived from the application of a time-domain Monte Carlo procedure. The main conclusion from the simulation results presented in this paper is that the selected tower model can significantly affect the flashover rate and its influence increases with the tower height.
