Abstract

This paper presents the results based on detailed accumulation of lightning performance data on 140- and 250-kV lines in the Tokyo area. Data are arranged for the yearly variation of outage and the distribution of flashovers. The former changes through a rather wide range; the latter indicates the concentration of outage. The result of the investigation signifies that expression by means of an average not always indicates the real performance.
