Shield to Pin Coupling of Lightning-Like Transients on Payload Umbilical Cables on a Launch Pad [PDF]
In this paper we describe in-situ testing of a long payload umbilical, on a launch site, injected with lightning- like transients and describe resulting pin-to-pin voltages.

Seasonal variation of transmission line outages in Peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2017 Researchers have observed the impact of climate changes on overhead line outages. It is known that overhead lines are very prone to lightning strikes due to their height and location which are normally in an open and exposed area.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With increasing demands for fire safety and environmental friendliness, retrofilling transformers with alternative insulating liquids has become a growing trend. However, retrofilling power transformers remains uncertain, as more residual mineral oil compromises K‐class flame retardancy, and its impact on environmental performance has yet to ...

Searching for effects caused by thunderstorms in midlatitude sporadic E layers [PDF]
, 2017 Possible thunderstorm - sporadic E (Es) layer coupling effects are investigated during two measurement periods, one in 2013 and one in 2014. The analysis was based on ionospheric observations obtained from a Digisonde at Pruhonice, the Czech Republic, an

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Data from five rocket‐triggered lightning flashes are adopted to analyse the correlated transient response of buried cables and lightning channel radiations. These five flashes have the same termination point that is right above the buried cables and involve a total of 32 return strokes.

An algorithm for estimating the detection efficiency of a lightning location system
Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2019 This article puts forward an algorithm for estimating the detection efficiency (DE) of a lightning location system (LLS). The algorithm can be applied to lightning flash/stroke density correction and LLS performance evaluation.
