Abstract :
Tests have been conducted on an experimental transmission line equipped with a counterpoise for reducing the tower footing surge impedance so as to give added protection against lightning. The results of these tests are presented herewith, and should prove valuable to engineers engaged in the design and operation of transmission lines. The desirability of further tests made under a variety of conditions is indicated.
