PROPAGATION OF SURGES ABOVE THE CORONA THRESHOLD ON A LINE WITH A LOSSY EARTH RETURN

Abstract

A technique for studying the propagation of surges on lines in the presence of corona and a lossy earth is presented. Each line section is modelled by lumped circuit components representing corona and earth effects. The component values are readily obtained from theoretical and experimental investigations. The circuit is solved in the time domain using transmission line modelling (TLM). The results show good agreement with other experimental and theoretical investigations.
