The lightning impulse may be 1.2 by 50 micro seconds and a switching impulse may be 250
by 2500 micro second and a DC voltage may also be there. The current carrying capacity
may be reduced because of the dielectric losses. An over voltage may be due to an
interruption of the capacitance currents because of switching. The lightning impulse can give
a current which will lead to building up of a voltage due to impedance of the conductor. The
current as well as the voltage , both show travelling wave behaviour. The lightning impulse
as well as switching voltage , both show travelling wave behaviour with a steep wave front.
In case of lightning impulse, a unidirectional voltage is observed which rises fastly to a
maximum value and then falls slowly.
Input Data :
The line is not compensated.

Load Impedance , Z 0.5 Zo, Zo, 0.75 Zo, infinity ( Zo = 260
Ohm ) Hence, Z = 130 Ohm, 260 Ohm, 195
Ohm and infinity
For the travelling wave behaviour study, the values of R and G are equal to zero ( lossless
line ). A sudden connection to the voltage source, doesn’t energise the whole line
instantaneously. The voltage wave thus travels from source end to the receiver end.

While determination of the requirements of insulation and electrical clearance requirement
for designing the HV ( high voltage ) transmission lines , there are 3 types of voltage
considerations to be taken into account. One is lightning impulse voltage ( which shows
maximum voltage value and largest rate of rise of voltage ), other is switching voltage and
last is step voltage. Any over voltage due to lightning or switching surge must be discharged.
A break down may occur in case of step voltage.
The various possible cases are shown in Figure 1 for Lightning impulse ( 10 kHz – 3 MHz ).
