The Lightning Strike

3 Attempts to Trigger Lightning Using High-Energy Lasers [Pg.111]

The time of travel from the point the lightning strikes on the overhead lines to the arrester, considering a line length of approximately 420 km and speed of propagation of the surge as 0.3 km/,us,... [Pg.621]

The Problem A popular method for determining how far away a bolt of lightning has struck is to count the number of seconds between the lightning flash and the sound of the thunder. If sound travels at about 1,100 feet per second, and if it s 6 seconds between the flash of lightning and the roar of the thunder, then how far away was the lightning strike in miles And what is the speed of the sound in miles per hour ... [Pg.35]

The Doctor fastened on to Aphrodite s arms as if the current was still buzzing through him from the lightning-strike revelations of the past minutes. Aphrodite seemed similarly electrified in his grasp. You re right, of course, he told her. We will find another way. ... [Pg.167]

Lighting protective systems offer the lightning strike an alternative low resistance path to the general mass of earth. Such systems have three main parts... [Pg.284]

Statistically, the lightning strike victim is most likely to be ... [Pg.841]

Let us analyze lightning surges at a substation. Assume that the lightning strikes the first tower next to the substation. The refraction coefficient matrix from the line to the substation is given by... [Pg.212]

The primary advantages of mechanical scales are that they are relatively inexpensive in smaller capacities they do not need electrical power, enhancing thein portabiUty and they do not need to be protected from power line transients or lightning strikes. [Pg.325]

When equipment is exposed to direct lightning strikes Equipment connected directly to an overhead line, or even through a transformer, will fall into this category. Select the highest value of BIL and even then a surge protection will become necessary for critical installations. [Pg.596]

These are typical figures and can be varied by the manufacturer to suit an application. To identify the suitability of the arrester on direct lightning strikes. [Pg.616]
