Abstract :
Lightning flashover trip-out rate for 138-kv double circuit towers designed for one ground wire is far in excess of rate anticipated by Commonwealth Edison Company when installed in 1954. Results of studies are presented on the cause of these trip-outs. Significant differences in performance associated with change in design are pointed up.
