This paper studies voltages generated across the insulators of a vertical double-circuit transmission tower due to a lightning strike to a tip of the tower top cross-arm, and presents a circuit analysis model of the tower considering the cross-arms. When lightning strikes the tip of tower top cross-arm, insulator voltages on the lightning-struck side are higher than those on the other side. This is because the electromagnetic field is more intense on the struck-side and it is weakened on the other side. The voltage difference can have an effect on the back-flashover occurrence. Most of existing equivalent circuits of transmission tower cannot consider the difference of electromagnetic field or its resultant voltages depending on the side of lightning strike. Here, a new equivalent circuit model, which can consider the difference of voltages depending on the side of lightning strike, is proposed for electromagnetic transient simulators. The validity of the proposed equivalent circuit model is confirmed by comparing waveforms of insulator voltages computed using the FDTD method in this paper and those measured on an actual ultra-high voltage transmission tower in the past.
