    jghrist, Any explanation on why/how the lightning surge increases/doubles on deadends? Is it due to the shape of the conductor, i.e. deadend conductor is cut and continue through a compression or bolted clamp? I find it interesting that this is not called in any of the standards I am aware of...

I thought this was just a mechanical requirement, i.e. it is much more difficult to replace a broken bell on a deadend or heavy angle insulator string due to conductor tension, so you can afford a broken...
