... (10.29)]. The inducing voltage, Vi,is the line integral of Ei:(10.30)As the height, hp, of the line conductor is small compared with the length of the lightning channel, the inducing electric ... the modeling of the tower in estimating the insulator voltage. In the simplest assumption, the tower is neglected. Then, the tower voltage, including the voltage of the cross arm from which the ... conductor. Neglecting the power- frequencyvoltage, the insulator voltage, V ins will be equal to the cross-arm voltage, V ca . This is schematically shownin Fig. 10.5a. The initial voltage traveling...
