3.3.3.2 Nearby lightning strikes

For nearby lightning strikes with magnetic effects we have (Equation 3.3.3.2.1):

 

[equation](3.3.3.2.1)

 

The area AM (Equation 3.3.3.2.2) is obtained by drawing a line around the structure at a distance rm (Equation 3.3.3.2.3), which depends on the impulse withstand voltage of the connected devices and systems UW (Figure 3.3.3.2.1):

Lightning strikes to the area AM magnetically induce surges in installation loops inside the structure.
