چکیده
power transmission lines. Numerical computation of solving the Telegraphist’s equations is determined and investigated its effectiveness. A source of lightning surge wave on power transmission lines is modeled by using Heidler’s surge model. The proposed method was tested against medium-voltage power transmission lines in comparison with the solution obtained by using Bewley lattice diagram. As a result, the calculation showed that the FDTD method is one of accurate methods to analyze transient lightning wave in power transmission lines.
