Abstract

Discharges originating from laboratory upward leaders are studied experimentally with a configuration consisting of two parallel vertical rods at ground and an elevated plane. The flashover probability of each rod, the effect of gap configuration on that probability, and the shielding effect of the taller rod on the smaller one are investigated. Experimental results are analyzed, taking into account the deviation of time to flashover of the gap. Application of the results to the case of natural lightning is also discussed. >
