Study on Lightning Attachment Manner to an Experiment Distribution Line and a Nearby Tree

Practical lightning protection design for overhead power distribution lines

“…Figure 4 showed the case that lightning discharge first attached to a tree and then lightning discharge jumped into an OPDL [9]. This phenomenon was also corroborated by the long-gap discharge experiment ( Figure 5), which was done at the Shiobara Testing Yard of CRIEPI [10][11][12]. This phenomenon may result in wire-cut outage in the middle part of two poles.…”
