Abstract :
A high-intensity current that is drained to the soil by a lightning protection system generates electromagnetic interference in its immediate surroundings. A mathematical model is presented for evaluating the electromagnetic fields induced in a device (simulated by an open square turn) positioned in a vulnerable area. The model is based on the dynamic analysis of the protection system´s response to a lightning stroke. It takes into account the complete simulation of the complex phenomenology tied to the partial discharges of the ground electrode
