Evaluation of Lightning-Induced Voltages Over a Lossy Ground by the Hybrid Electromagnetic Model

In this paper, the hybrid electromagnetic model is applied to calculate lightning-induced voltages over a lossy ground. Results provided by this model are compared with experimental data obtained from a reduced-scale model and with results simulated by the numerical electromagnetics code. Good agreement is achieved in all cases.
