Lightning Protection - Rolling Sphere
Lightning Protection - Rolling Sphere
(OP)
Gentlemen,
I have been trying to figure out a way to calculate a rolling sphere lightning protection radius for two different masts of unequal height having a distance smaller than the radius of the sphere.
I could go with the lower mast to be more conservative, but I would like to calculate the actual protection radius.
Also, I didn't see anything about this in IEEE standard and pretty much any paper that I have read so far.
Any advice or suggestion will be appreciated
Thanks

You wouldn't happen to have one of those as well would you? Your first post was very helpful.
Thanks

How about two non-parallel shield wires with different attachement heights? For grins, don't neglect sag.
