Abstract

A new method for the analysis and design of lightning protection systems for constructions and buildings against direct strokes is presented. The theory is based on the study of the critical field strength values in nonuniform fields, and its applications to an electromagnetic model of the lightning stroke. The main goal is to give a tool for the determination of the parts of the structure and its vicinity, which are exposed to lightning strokes. The probability of strokes which may hit the structure is valuable information in the design of a reliable lightning protection system.
