| dc.description.abstract | Overvoltage protective devices such as surge arresters and protective gaps are used to divert high lightning surges from line to
earth through an earth electrode. An effective design of earthing systems is therefore important to dissipate fault current to earth
effectively regardless of the type of fault. The characteristics of earthing systems at power frequency, low-voltage and lowcurrent
magnitudes have been extensively researched and fairly well understood. However, the behaviour of earthing systems
under transient conditions is still not fully clarified. This paper is to provide a better understanding of the characteristics of
earthing systems under lightning impulse, as well as to present an informative review on previous work on soil ionisation
phenomena under high impulse currents. | en_US |
