About this document

CIGRE 2004 Lightning by PAULO HENRIQUE Tavares is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This paper discusses the use of the Alternative Transients Program (ATP) to calculate the flashover rate of transmission lines due to lightning strikes, employing a Monte Carlo method for analysis. It includes sensitivity studies on various parameters affecting the flashover rate, such as peak current magnitude and rise time of lightning strokes. The results indicate that the flashover rate is influenced by these parameters, with a calculated rate of 1.477 per 100 km per year for the tested line.
