Abstract:A new lightning shielding failure evaluation method based on an electro-geometric method aided by 3D graphics technology is introduced. The approach is based on the method of collection surfaces. By using the collection surface of protected equipment instead of the unprotected area, empty areas where no equipment is to be protected are eliminated from contributing to the failure rate. Shielding devices and protected equipment are considered equally as targets for lightning when generating collection surfaces. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
