在雷电下行先导趋近地面目标物过程中, 地面目标物产生的正极性上行先导是影响雷击点和确定
目标物引雷范围的主要因素. 采用模拟试验是研究上行先导特性及检验各种防雷措施有效性的 …

The early emission of streamers in laboratory long air gaps under switching impulses has
been observed to reduce the time of initiation of leader positive discharges. This fact has …

A grounded structure can interact with a lightning flash in two different ways. It can interact
with either a downward or an upward lightning flash. The initiation of a downward lightning …

Three types of lightning protection systems are in common use today: conventional systems,
charge transfer systems, and systems based on early streamer emission air terminals. There …

A theoretical analysis is presented for the processes involved in natural lightning attachment
to earthed structures. This analysis is based on physical criteria for upward leader inception …

The lightning phenomenon is an intriguing natural hazard not widely studied in Zambia.
Lightning protection of installations is very specific to a particular region and thus it requires …

This paper addresses the performance of various lightning rod tips: pointed, concave, blunt,
flat and conical for lightning air terminal (LAT). To observe the behaviour of the various …

This paper is devoted to a detailed presentation of all aspects involved in a novel
experimental technique to prove the effectiveness of an early streamer emission air terminal …

Prior to export, processed crude oil is stored in Floating Roof Tanks (FRT) to further allow
any trapped gas within the crude oil to escape, as this stabilises the crude oil. In the oil and …

The paper deals with comparative laboratory tests of operating characteristics of the early
streamer emission (ESE) lightning rod and Franklin rod. Laboratory tests are performed by …
