The benefits of using such a model is to avoid the current waves reflection at the top of the channel. This allows a model with reduced dimensions. On the other hand this model can also model the real channel losses appropriately.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131436661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is based on the analysis of the data provided by lightning location systems (LLS) and thus could be applied for any tall structure located in the region covered by a LLS. About 80 tall objects in Europe with heights ranging from 100 m to 300 m were selected for the analysis. LLS data for a period of 10 years on flashes within circles of 8 km around each object were exported from the EUCLID network database and analyzed. The number of upward flashes for each considered structure was estimated and the obtained results were compared with those calculated using the empirical formula of Eriksson. For towers located on hilly terrain, the physical height of the structure was replaced by its effective height determined according to the IEC recommendation. The obtained results follow the trend predicted by Eriksson's formula. However, significant dispersion is observed. This dispersion might be attributed essentially to meteorological and geological factors associated with different objects.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121251344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results from numerical calculation, based on a more complete electromagnetic formulation (Method of Moments — MoM) are compared with results from a quasi-stationary approach. It is shown that the voltages induced into loops by very fast currents, such as the subsequent lightning strokes, can be significantly influenced by the displacement currents and propagation delays. This effect depends also on the loop dimensions and its earthing configuration. In the example considered in this paper, the induced voltage reached a peak value one-third above the peak value calculated by magnetic induction only, besides exhibiting oscillatory wave forms. This increase in the magnitude and change of the induced voltage waveform may impact the design of clearance distances and, under specific conditions, may also jeopardize electronic equipment that otherwise would be considered safe based on the quasi-stationary approach.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128899277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially, because class I SPDs intend to install at the entrance of power line according to IEC 61643-12) [2], it is important how big current SPD withstands. As components of SPD in Low voltage power distribution system, metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and/or spark gaps (GDT) were mainly used. SPDs with MOVs are voltage limiting type and have some merits as follows compared to that with GDT. • Capability of cut off the follow current • Lower residual voltage • Quickly response However, from surge withstand capability of the view, it is easy for MOVs to degrade its electrical characteristics by surge current because it translates from surge energy to heat itself. This point is a drawback for MOVs. This study describes the degradation mechanism of MOVs by surge impulses and the approaches for high and stable surge withstand capability through 10/350us impulse test results.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132758985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent work on electromagnetic and distributed-circuit models concerns essentially the inclusion of distributed nonlinearities along the channel. The nonlinear versions of electromagnetic and distributed-circuit models are able to reproduce experimentally-observed typical features of electromagnetic fields, especially the zero crossing of the remote fields. The equivalency between lumped-source and distributed-source models was the subject of recent investigations on engineering models, which have led to physical insight into the physics of lightning channel corona sheath. Other advances in engineering models concern a rigorous analysis of wave propagation along an extending transmission line which resulted in a revision of engineering models taking into account the reflections from the return stroke wavefront. The reflections are shown to be affected by relativistic Doppler effect. Recent studies on the identification of the main mechanisms responsible for the time of occurrence of the reversal of polarity in the far fields are described. Finally, the paper summarizes computational methods for the evaluation of electromagnetic fields along a lossy ground, with special emphasis on recent studies related to the case of inhomogeneous (vertically and horizontally stratified) ground.","PeriodicalId":277573,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Symposium on Lightning Protection","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130973374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
