Fine Structure Signatures in Ground Flashes as a Source for HF Radiation

Vol. 1

91-104

Lighting radiation fields below 10 MHz are of considerable interest since these frequencies correspond to the natural resonance of structures with dimensions of a few meters to tens of meters. In this paper we present the fine structure signatures of sub-microsecond range pulses appeared at the leader phase and after the return stroke in negative ground flashes which act as a source for HF radiations at 10 MHz, 5 MHz and 3 MHz observed in Sri Lanka, in the tropics. Of the total sub-microsecond range pulses analyzed, 298 were due to positive field changes and 228 were due to negative field changes. The average rise time of those pulses for both polarities is 127 ns and it was found to be varying from 110-160 ns. The peak amplitude is in the range of 0.65-2.19 V/m. For the total 526 pulses analyzed for this study, the FWHM was between 190-310 ns with an arithmetic mean of 238 ns. Signatures of these pulses are similar to the leader like electric field pulses which acted as a strong source for HF radiations at 10 MHz, 5 MHz and 3 MHz. The initiation process of pulses reported in this study could be similar to the initiation process of leader like pulses.

Performance comparison of varistor models under high current derivative impulses

Surge protective devices (SPD) testing procedures are mainly performed with standard current pulse types. However, none of these standard current waveforms reproduce the very fast rise time and the large peak current derivatives observed in subsequent return strokes. In the literature there are several mathematical models to represent metal oxide varistor that have been developed based on standard impulse conditions. These models are being used routinely in the analysis of the various electronic circuits under transient conditions. In this paper, a study was conducted to have a performance comparison between the two varistor models, simplified varistor model and Durbak's model, available in the literature under high current derivative impulses. The experiments and simulations were performed on disk type varistors with different diameter sizes, i.e., 20mm, 10mm, and 05mm with nominal operating voltage of 230 V. The Roman Generator developed at Uppsala University was used as the high current derivative impulse generator which can produce a peak current up to 1500 A with 10 ns rise time and its rate-of-rise is in the order of 1011 A/s. The results showed that for standard 8/20 ěs lightning impulses, simulation results of these models had a good agreement with the experimental data. However, these two models need to be improving in order to improve their performance under high current derivative impulses into the sub-microsecond range.
