  • Abstract
    A review of available data on the magnitude and effects of lightning stroke currents, supplemented by laboratory experiments to check these effects, is presented here-with. Maximum currents of 150,000 to 200,000 amperes having durations of from 40 to 100 microseconds are indicated.
