Backflashover rate of underbuilt 33 kV distribution overhead line under lightning condition

Lightning has been a major concern to the power system researchers as it may cause damage to the connected electrical equipment especially to the transmission and distribution line. One of the most event is backflashover that will cause lightning overvoltage. For that reason, one study has been carr...
