Abstract :
Estimations of connecting leader length for grounded objects of various geometries have been performed. The data of experimental studies of protection zones for large-scale lightning-rod models of different types are presented. In experiments the connecting leaders developing towards a spark discharge from a high-voltage electrode were observed. Experimental results on protection zones are compared to calculations under Russian standards of lightning protection.
