Abstract
- In this study, we present an experimental validation of the transmission line representation of an elevated object struck by lightning. The experimental results are obtained using a reduced-scale model and injected signals with narrow pulse widths (down to 500 ps). The validation is performed using a reduced scale structure representing the Toronto CN Tower in Canada. Two models consisting, respectively, of 1-section and 3-section uniform transmission lines were considered for the comparison. It is shown that the 3-section model is able to accurately reproduce the obtained experimental data. The overall agreement between the 1-section model and the experimental results is also satisfactory, at least for the early-time response.
