This paper presents a sensitivity assessment of a 23kV distribution feeder subject of indirect lightning. The study focuses in a comparative performance analysis of different configurations poles. Four distribution lines topologies performance are assessed. ATP program was used to simulate the electromagnetic phenomena and to evaluate the transients caused by induced lightning discharges.
