Lightning Physics and Lightning Protection presents a comprehensive
and up-to-date review of lightning, including its hazards and
protection techniques. The authors first discuss the effectiveness
of conventional protective measures, supply technical advice and
practical recommendations, and explore the prospects for the
preventive control of a lightning leader, followed by a discussion
of the initiation of a leader and return stroke and subsequent
components. After including measurements useful for understanding
lightning and its effects, the book describes the mechanism of
lightning discharge processes. It then examines the effects of
large aircraft, high-voltage lines, and other high-altitude
constructions on lightning trajectory and leader attraction. The
book concludes by studying the action of lightning's electrical and
magnetic fields and the lightning current on industrial premises,
power transmission lines, underground communications, aircraft and
their electrical circuits, and the induction of a dangerous
overvoltage. A clear, straightforward, and systematic presentation
of complicated material, Lightning Physics and Lightning Protection
provides deep insight into the physics of lightning, simple
analytical estimates, and a detailed illustration of effects by
computer simulation, making this resource essential for those who
investigate lightning phenomena and who have to solve practical
protection problems.
