A fractal model for the lightning induced current on a transmission line [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This article presents a model of a tortuous lightning channel, and a study of the consequent electromagnetic coupling to a transmission line. We analyse the fractal dimension of the induced current on the line, compared with the fractal dimension of the ...

Impulse ageing of polymeric materials

open access: yes, 2011
Impulse over-voltage is a common phenomenon in electric power systems. A switching impulse is created by a switching surge or local fault while a lightning impulse is due to direct lightning strike to high voltage plant such as an overhead line.

Conductivity Analysis and Thermoelectric Behaviour of Larch Standing Trees Under Lightning Currents: Role of Moisture Distribution and Carrier Motion

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The direct effects of lightning strikes on forest combustibles form the foundation for predicting lightning‐induced forest fires. Accurate assessment of lightning impact is hindered by limited knowledge of the conduction characteristics of standing larch trees.
