The development of atmospheric lightning is initiated by a 'leader' phase during which ionized channels appear in virgin air. The use of rapid cameras, the measure of fields and currents associated with the discharge allow one to compare the propagation of laboratory leaders with those of natural or

## An analysis is performed of the parameters of nearby lightning discharges. Vertical electric and two perpendicular horizontal magnetic field components were recorded in the frequency range from 300 Hz to 13 kHz. Observations were performed at Singapore on 26 February, 1991. Data were stored in
In order to improve power supply reliability, it is necessary to prevent lightning faults in transmission lines and substation apparatus. However, faults are caused occasionally in lower-voltage power systems, particularly at the 77 kV level. The governing factor for insulation strength of substatio
