Abstract :
Analyses have been made of the sensitivity of lightning outage rate predictions to uncertainties and variations in the various parameters incorporated in the normal prediction methods. The influence of upward streamers on the insulator voltages produced by charge in the stroke channel has been studied, and it is shown that the magnitudes of these voltages are very dependent on the assumed length of the streamers.
