We compare five lightning return stroke current models that exhibit a simple relationship
between the current at the return stroke channel‐base and the current along the return …

The integration of renewable energy (RE) sources is increasing day by day because of their
permanent existence and the limited quantities of fossil fuels. One of the most promising RE …

Four classes of models of the lightning return stroke are reviewed. These four classes are:(1)
the gas dynamic models;(2) the electromagnetic models;(3) the distributed-circuit models; …

The new expression of the lightning current at the striking point is analyzed. The basic four
channel-base lightning current quantities are assumed to be known: current peak value …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

A modeling procedure that permits calculation of lightning-induced voltages on overhead
lines starting from the channel-base current is discussed. The procedure makes use of a …

This book on electromagnetic resonance phenomena describes a general approach to
physical problems, ways to solve them, and properties of the solutions obtained. Attention is …

An analysis of electric and magnetic fields radiated by lightning first and subsequent return
strokes to tall towers is presented. The contributions of the various components of the fields …

Channel base currents from triggered lightning were measured at the NASA Kennedy Space
Center, Florida, during summer 1990 and at Fort McClellan, Alabama, during summer 1991 …

Experimental data showing the transient behavior of tall objects struck by lightning are
reviewed. The influence of this transient behavior, illustrated by simple calculations, on …
