Title:
LIGHTNING-STRIKE ELECTRIC CHARGE ESTIMATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/077337
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A magnetic field measurement means measures the magnetic field generated by a lightning-strike in a frequency band that includes frequencies of 200 Hz or less. An electric charge calculation means determines the electric current waveform of the lightning-strike on the basis of the waveform of the magnetic field measured by the magnetic field measurement means, and integrates the electric current waveform to determine the electric charge.
