Lightning Induced Interior Fields And Voltage Bounds For Coaxial Topologies
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
- Pantex Plant (PTX), Amarillo, TX (United States)
We assemble bounding formulas for the interior fields and pin voltages inside a cylindrical coaxial Faraday cage which has been struck by lightning. Approximate formulas for penetrations through a circumferential door slot with subsequent coupling to the interior center conductor structure. Fields at the opposite open end are estimated and used to drive a capped connector and estimate interior pin voltages. Finally, penetrations through small circular holes and direct diffusion through the barrier are also addressed.
