“…The presence of oscillations with different polar amplitudes on the TS's leading edge, as shown in the previous sections, is explained by the inhomogeneous structure of the voltage step's TW propagation channel. These oscillations increase the error in determining the TSOT by threshold methods [7], two threshold methods with linear approximation to zero [8,9] and statistical methods based on high-order central moments [10,11,12]. Under conditions of lightning overvoltage, the amplitude of noise oscillations caused by streamer formation increases, which increases the error in determining the TSOT.…”
