Question
  1. A lightning strikes a 30-m unshielded over-head transmission line tower Which has the

following parameters

 

Surge impedance of the tower= 100ohms

Surge impedance of lightning channel at tower top =500ohms

Tower-footing resistance=10ohms

Tower height =30 m

Cross-arm height=27m

The lightning strike current is assumed to be a constant 30 kA for a duration of 20 µs. The

raveling wave propagation speed in the tower is 1.2* 10­­8 m/s.

i) Determine the voltage reflection coefficients at tower top and tower foot. 

  ii) Ignoring the phase voltage, determine the insulator voltage after 2µs.
