Lightning Pulse Shielding Effectiveness Tests


Conducted by:
LIGHTNING TECHNOLOGIES INC.
PITTSFIELD, MASS.
lightningtech.gif (2758 bytes) Lightning Technologies is known internationally. Their engineers are leaders in the development of new lightning protection standards and verification test methods. They maintain one of the most well-equipped lightning simulation and test laboratories in the world.

Test Results For Magnetic Field Shielding Effectiveness

Circular coils carrying pulse currents of about 5000 amperes peak were used to generate a time varying magnetic field, creating at the center of the test fixture a calculated field intensity of about 900 amperes.

The waveshape and amplitude were representative of that produced by a 50,000 ampere lightning flash 30 feet from the center of the test shelter.

This test data implies an overall magnetic field shielding effectiveness of 60dB.


Test Results For Current Injected Directly Onto Shelter
