Calculation of lightning-induced voltages on an overhead line taking into account the presence of nearby buildings

Mario Paolone, Carlo Alberto Nucci

For the case of urban overhead lines, the presence of nearby buildings is expected to affect the overvoltages induced by nearby lightning return strokes. This effect until now has been seldom taken into account in the literature on the subject. The paper p ...

On the Current Peak Estimates Provided by Lightning Detection Networks for Lightning Return Strokes to Tall Towers

Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello

The peak current estimation of lightning detection networks for strikes to tall towers is discussed in this paper. Such systems are sometimes calibrated using return-stroke current data obtained by means of rocket-triggered lightning or instrumented towers ...

Analytical Expressions for Zero-Crossing Times in Lightning Return-Stroke Engineering Models

Marcos Rubinstein, Abdolhamid Shoory

One of the characteristic features of the electromagnetic fields radiated by lightning is the far-field inversion of polarity with a zero-crossing occurring in the tens of microseconds range. This feature has been used in several studies to test the abilit ...

The influence of frequency dependent soil electrical parameters on the evaluation of lightning electromagnetic fields in air and underground

This paper is aimed at analyzing the influence of the frequency-dependent behavior of the ground electrical parameters ( conductivity and ground permittivity) on the electromagnetic field radiated by a cloud-to-ground lightning return stroke. Both radiatio ...

On the Relationship Between the Signature of Close Electric Field and the Equivalent Corona Current in Lightning Return Stroke Models

Carlo Alberto Nucci

Engineering return stroke models can be categorized either as current generation (traveling current source type) models or current propagation (transmission line type) models. The current generation models are described among other parameters by a corona c ...

Determination of lightning currents from far electromagnetic fields: Effect of a strike object

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, José-Luis Bermudez

We discuss in this paper the influence of the presence of an elevated strike object on the peak of the lightning return stroke current determined from remote field measurements. We develop analytical expressions relating the lightning return stroke channel ...
