Abstract
Summary form only given as follows. This paper describes analytical and experimental studies on tower surge response, including effects of return stroke current. Such effects have been ignored in previous lightning surge analyses of transmission towers. A new method for calculating transmission tower surge response including the effects of return stroke current is proposed. The proposed method is based on the electromagnetic field theory, and it clearly shows that the tower surge response depends on the direction and velocity of the return stroke current. The tower surge response calculated by the proposed method agrees well with the measured tower surge response obtained from scale model tests and field tests
