In this paper, a numerical model is developed to determine the earth impedance of transmission towers, which can incorporate the effect of the variations of the tower resistances along the line, the end effect of the terminating substation and the effect of the auxiliary current electrode. The model is based on the computation of the potential at the test tower and the potential at any point on the...
