Lightning Currents Flowing in the Soil and Entering a Test Power Distribution Line Via Its Grounding

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Emanuel Petrache, Mario Paolone

Current from nearby rocket-triggered lightning that flowed through the soil and into an unenergized test power distribution line was studied based on experimental data acquired in 2003 at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing in Flori ...

Lightning-induced currents in buried coaxial cables

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Emanuel Petrache, Mario Paolone

We present a review of theoretical methods to compute lightning-induced currents and voltages on buried cables. The evaluation of such induced disturbances requires the calculation of the electric field produced by lightning along the cable path. We show t ...

Lightning strikes to elevated structures: influence grounding conditions on currents and electromagnetic fields

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Emanuel Petrache, Davide Pavanello

This paper presents an analysis of lightning return strokes to tall structures. The interaction of lightning with a tall structure is modeled using the antenna theory. The finite ground conductivity as well as the buried grounding system of the tall struct ...
