Sidetracking Lightning and Its Direct Strokes
Lightning has two classes direct and indirect. Direct strokes strike ground paths and overpower protection, often burning power conductors in two. Wooden pole lines commonly interrupt from shattered poles, with mid span strikes less frequent on wooden lines than steel towers.
Grounding and lightning stroke effects on power lines
The text describes how indirect lightning strokes damage service by inducing a strong nearby potential. It explains the earth potential rising toward the conductor, risking arcing. It advocates grounding the structure and using flat power conductors with a ground wire to improve protection.
