Abstract

Evaluating the lightning performance of an overhead power line requires knowledge and details related to the lightning activity in the vicinity of the line. Knowledge about the characteristics of lightning phenomena enables engineers to understand the interaction of lightning with overhead power lines. Particular aspects associated with lightning and lightning activity are presented in this chapter. Also, the effects of lightning on an overhead power line, such as induced voltages, back flash, and shielding failure are described. Modern lightning location systems are also briefly referred to.
