AN OPTICAL FIBRE LINK FOR LIGHTNING STROKE CURRENT MEASUREMENTS

Michel Ianoz
1981

Abstract

In order to perform measurements of "transient phenomena in high level electromagnetic environments (lightning stroke) a data transmission system using optical fibres has been developed. Beside, this system must also permit the remote control of auxiliary devices installed in the critical areas. As the transmission system is mainly intended for lightening current measurements, the security distance between the emitter and the receiver has been chosen to be of 200 meters. An optical cable composed of two mono-fibres is used for transmitting information over the above distance.

Optical fiber

An optical fiber, or optical fibre in Commonwealth English, is a flexible, transparent fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair. Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

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.
