Abstract
Footing resistances for transmission line towers must be low for good operation, but it appears that no benefit results from reducing them below a certain limiting value characteristic of a given construction. This is because flashover can apparently be caused not only by excessive footing resistance drop, but also by the reactive drop accompanying rapid rates of current rise when tower currents are large.
