This paper presents a sensitivity assessment of a 23kVdistribution feeder subject of indirect lightning. The studyfocuses in a comparative performance analysis of differentconfigurations poles. Four distribution lines topologiesperformance are assessed. ATP program was used to simulatethe electromagnetic phenomena and to evaluate the transientscaused by induced lightning discharges.
