Abstract :
Electric utilities are striving to improve the appearance of distribution lines and simultaneously reduce lightning outages. Unfortunately, many suggested departures from crossarm construction that improve appearance reduce the impulse insulation strength of the lines, causing more, rather than fewer, tripouts.
