Abstract

We present in this paper experimental results obtained at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT), Camp Blanding, Florida, where currents induced by triggered and natural lightning events were measured at one end of a shielded buried cable, both in the cable shield and in the inner conductor. The horizontal magnetic field was also measured. For the natural lightning events, the recorded waveforms are correlated with the data obtained by the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN). The paper provides also a discussion of the correlation between the horizontal magnetic field and the induced current, as well as of the effect of lightning stroke position and distance from the buried cable on the induced disturbances.

Lightning

Lightning is a natural phenomenon formed by electrostatic discharges through the atmosphere between two electrically charged regions, either both in the atmosphere or with one in the atmosphere and on the ground, temporarily neutralizing these in a near-instantaneous release of an average of one gigajoule of energy. This discharge may produce a wide range of electromagnetic radiation, from heat created by the rapid movement of electrons, to brilliant flashes of visible light in the form of black-body radiation.

Lightning rod

A lightning rod or lightning conductor (British English) is a metal rod mounted on a structure and intended to protect the structure from a lightning strike. If lightning hits the structure, it will preferentially strike the rod and be conducted to ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure, where it could start a fire or cause electrocution. Lightning rods are also called finials, air terminals, or strike termination devices. In a lightning protection system, a lightning rod is a single component of the system.

Power cable

A power cable is an electrical cable, an assembly of one or more electrical conductors, usually held together with an overall sheath. The assembly is used for transmission of electrical power. Power cables may be installed as permanent wiring within buildings, buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed. Power cables that are bundled inside thermoplastic sheathing and that are intended to be run inside a building are known as NM-B (nonmetallic sheathed building cable).
