Abstract

Cables connected directly to overhead transmission lines may require protection against lightning. The factors which determine whether or not protective equipment is necessary are discussed in this article and new and simplified formulas for determining the maximum voltage are presented. The effect of cable length and surge impedance and of line surge impedance are illustrated in detail and tentative data on impulse strength of cable insulation are included.
