It was previously stated that it is only necessary to provide shielding for the equipment from all lightning strokes greater than Is that would result in a flashover of the buswork. Strokes less than Is are permitted to enter the protected zone since the equipment can withstand voltages below its BIL design level.
This will be illustrated by considering three levels of stroke current; Is, stoke currents greater than Is, and stroke current less than Is. First, let us consider the stroke current Is.
5.3.1 Protection against stroke current Is
Is is calculated from Eq 5-2 as the current producing a voltage the insulation will just withstand. Substituting this result in Eq 5-1 gives the striking distance S for this stroke current.
In 1977, Ralph H. Lee developed a simplified technique for applying the electromagnetic theory to the shielding of buildings and industrial plants [B48], [B49], [B50]. J.T. Orrell extended the technique to specifically cover the protection of electric substations [B74]. The technique developed by Lee has come to be known as the rolling sphere method. For the following illustration, the rolling sphere method will be used. This method employs the simplifying
