Abstract

Lightning currents are one of major influences on the dynamic performance of counterpoise. High lightning current causes the dynamic grounding performance of counterpoise due to very fast fronted pulses. The previous analysis has often been based on quasi-static approximation that can not be applicable to very fast fronted pulses. To extend the analysis for fast fronted pulses in this paper, the full-wave analysis method based on the rigorous electromagnetic-field theory approach is used and the effects of the ionization of the soil are disregarded. Based on the simulation results, the empirical formulas applicable for slow and fast fronted lightning current pulses are reviewed; therefore, the validity of the theoretical approach is verified through comparison between the calculated and measured results.
