Abstract
This paper presents an approximate formula for the peak value of lightning-induced voltages in an overhead line, considering the ground resistivity and a trapezoidal lightning return stroke current waveform with typical parameters 3.8-μ s front time and 120-m/μ s velocity. It presents an improvement in a formula previously proposed by the authors. The formula is used with a probabilistic approach, and the results are compared with theoretical and experimental results available in the literature. The results show that the proposed formula, although very simple, is in good agreement with results obtained using complete formulations and experimental data.
