Abstract
The improvement of the lightning performance of overhead distribution lines, hit by direct strokes, is investigated considering the use of additional shield wires beneath the phase conductors. The frequency-domain theory of multiconductor transmission lines with periodical grounding is adopted permitting a rigorous evaluation of the phase and shield wire currents and of the overvoltages across insulators. These can be minimized by careful positioning of the underbuilt shield wires. A sensitivity analysis on the overvoltages is conducted by varying either the position of the underbuilt shield wires and the grounding impedance.
