Abstract
An experimental investigation was performed on a UHV tower model for the EMTP multiconductor calculation of lightning overvoltage at substations associated with back-flashover at an adjacent transmission tower. The various lightning surge response characteristics were measured on an actual UHV tower, and parameters of a multistory transmission tower model that can reproduce voltages across the insulator strings, voltages of the crossarms, and voltages of the power lines were determined. A value of 120 /spl Omega/ was determined as the surge impedance at each section of the multistory tower model, which closely agreed with the tower surge impedance measured for the UHV tower alone.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
