Beschreibung
The advent of complex intelligent structures and low-voltageelectronic installations within buildings requires increasinglysophisticated lightning protections techniques. As a multimediabook, Understanding Lightning and Lightning Protection is aunique, interactive self-teaching tool that provides an in-depthunderstanding of lightning protection.
Understanding Lightning and Lightning Protection helpsthe reader to understand the propagation of waves within complexintelligent structures within buildings, and the operation ofsystems designed to protect these structures. It also comments onproper human behaviour during a lightning thunderstorm.
* Accompanied by a web-based animation programhttp://www.wiley.com/go/horvath
* Shows the fundamental processes of the lightning phenomenon,and helps the reader to understand the measures of protectionagainst lightning damage.
* Offers a new theory and calculation method to estimate theefficiency of lightning air termination systems, which helps toevaluate the residual risk of the lightning protection system.
* Examines the propogation of waves and the associated protectionof intelligent systems against lightning electromagneticimpulses.
This interactive teaching tool is designed for seniorundergraduate and postgraduate students in electrical engineering,construction, physics and meteorology. It will also provide avaluable resource for practitioners within electric powerdistribution, electronics, informatics & constructionsafety.
