Simulation of Electrical Physical Processes in Electro-Energetic Systems at Thunderstorm Conditions

Model for simulation of electrical physical processes at lightning attachment to ground objects containing sensitive electronics, telecommunication and computer engineering equipment has been presented. This model takes into account all possible places of lightning strokes origin with regard of probability of lightning appearance with different currents and potentials. Adequacy of the model has been checked by comparison with the normalized experimental data. The model has been used for choice of the reliable means of defense from lightning strokes to an object with sensitive electronic equipment.
