Lightning Surge

All the tibove surges and even the transference of a lightning surge from an overhead line through inter-... 

More than one lightning impulse insulation level is indicative of the extent of exposure of equipment to lightning surges. Correspondingly the power frequency withstand voltage can also be more than one. 

For a voltage impulse having a front duration of less than 30 /is (normally lightning surges)...

Table 1.1.2 > 3.0-24.S lightning surge. 1.0.. 5 which is more severe...

A lightning surge and an FOW have more influence compared to a switching surge due to the former s higher surge frequencies,/j. 

A lightning surge protective level is found to be more stringent than the switching surge or FOW protective levels. Hence, it is sufficient to check the protective distance requirement for the lightning surge alone. 

It we consider the lightning surge with a steepness of 2000 kV/ us, then for a total distance of, say, 8 m from the arrester to the equipment... 

In fact the relevant qualifying test is usually based on keeping the ballast in operation, and simultaneously applying at the input, the well-known 8/20 /is lightning surge test.

LPZOb Zone protected against direct lightning flashes but where the threat is the full lightning electromagnetic field. The internal systems may be subjected to partial lightning surge currents. External zone side wall structure. 

Regulation 524-04-0l(iv) requires the Kghtning protection system to be bonded to the main earthing terminal to prevent potential differences occurring within the equipotential zone in the event of a lightning surge or strike. 

The field at the tip of very sharp points (-0.1 ym in radius) has been reported to have attained the exceptional value of 100 MV/cm within minutes (no detectable current flowed under DC voltage) in liquid nitrogen (Sibillot and Coelho, 1974) at the other extreme, a one-meter gap of transformer oil in a gap of one meter was unable to sustain a 1-MV "lightning surge , breakdown having occurred below 10 kV/cm (Kamata and Kako, 1980). 

Most of the experimental data have been obtained with point-plane and rod-plane geometries and an impulse voltage rectangular voltage or "lightning surge" (1-ys rise time, one-half of the maximum voltage at...
