Abstract
Continuing a series of papers reporting a study of lightning on transmission lines, the authors present herewith data obtained during 1935 and part of 1936 on 66-, 110-, 132-, and 220-kv lines. Values of lightning current are presented, and the effectiveness of overhead ground wires and low footing resistance in preventing tripouts is shown.
