Purpose. Determination in the analytical form of the maximum limiting influence of the non-identity of the capacitive elements of the high-voltage arm on the amplitude-frequency characteristic and phase-frequency characteristic of the voltage divider with parallel-series connection of R-, C-elements of the high-voltage arm. Methodology. Based on the previously developed theory of broadband voltage dividers with parallel-series connection of R-, C-elements, analytical expressions for amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics of the voltage divider are obtained and investigated taking into account the limit case of non-identical capacitive elements of high-voltage arm. Results. The nature of the dependencies of the frequency characteristics of the broadband voltage divider on the value of the tolerance of the capacitive elements of the high-voltage arm, the division factor of the voltage divider in a wide range of frequency changes is determined. Simplified approximating expressions for the maximum values of frequency characteristics of the voltage divider are proposed and their error is determined. Originality. For the first time in the analytical form the limiting influence of non-identity of capacitive elements of a high-voltage arm of a voltage divider on its frequency characteristics is considered. A mathematical model of this influence is constructed and the limit values of frequency characteristics of the voltage divider are determined. Practical value. It is recommended to introduce into the normative documentation of broadband voltage dividers the corrected value of the division factor, which allows to significantly reduce the deviation of the actual value of the division factor of the voltage divider from the normalized value in a wide range of frequency changes.

The object of the research is a circuit that simulates a lightning strike to a tower of 220 kV power transmission line, taking into consideration the reflection of a current wave from 10 nearest towers. Computation of the voltage arising at the top of the stricken tower is necessary further to determine the lightning performance of transmission line by various methods. For Indian conditions, the average number of lightning strikes to this power line per 100 kilometers per year is about 77, which is a fairly high figure. As a rule, for the tasks of lightning protection, the lightning current is approximated by some analytical expression. In most cases, such expressions are various combinations of exponential functions. However, the waveform of real lightning currents on oscillograms differs significantly from the waveform attributed to them and approximated by relatively simple exponential expressions. For a more detailed study of transient processes caused by thunderstorm activity, there is a need to use oscillograms of real lightning currents when modeling. The problem of determining the voltage at the top of the stricken transmission line tower was solved using circuit simulation. To simulate the lightning current, digitized oscillograms of real lightning currents with peak values of –5.256 kA and –133.586 kA were applied. The article shows that the proposed approach gives a more accurate and visual representation of the transient process at the top of the stricken tower than the approximation of the lightning current by simple exponential expressions. Applying a simplified exponential description of the lightning current leads not only to a simplification of the nature of the transient process at the tower top, but also to an underestimation of the results to 8.8%. The selection of the equivalent circuit for the power line towers also affects the result. Representation of towers in the equivalent circuit with lumped inductances leads to slightly higher values compared to application of surge impedances in the circuit. In this case, the smaller the current amplitude, the greater the difference (8.6 % in the domain of low currents and 1.9 % in the domain of high currents). Since this leads to some reserve during the computations of lightning performance, it is recommended to use an equivalent circuit with lumped inductance for a transmission line tower. The conducted research contributes to the development of methods for calculating the lightning performance of power lines and extends the scope of application of circuit simulation programs.
