The behaviour of lightning current along tall structures is an important case to be evaluated. The behaviour is influenced by a few factors of which one is the ground or earth reflection factor. Previous studies have assumed that the ground reflection factor is a constant value and this value is usually used when evaluating the lightning current along a tall tower. This study presents the behaviour...
A direct lightning strike on a tall structure may result in damage to the equipment that is installed along the tower. This may be caused by the behaviour changes of the lightning current value and wave shape along the tall structure. The influence of this behaviour change may be contributed to by the ground reflection factor. Previous studies have assumed that the ground reflection factor is a constant...
The return stroke current in the case of a lightning strike on a tall structure is affected by different tower and channel parameters such as the velocity of the return stroke current, the height of the observation point along the structure, the lightning channel and the reflection coefficients at the top and bottom of the structure. This paper will consider all these factors in the behaviour of the...
