What about strikes to a divider? If a divider's HV terminal were to
receive a strike at near-maximum arc length, can we not assume that the
loading on the seconday will be relatively low due to the resistance of
the arc channel? Under such a condition, I would assume that the
voltage delivered to the HV terminal of the divider would be very close
to the voltage at the secondary HV terminal, minus quite a bit of
current.
Discussion?
