XI International Symposium on Lightning

10/350 LIGHTNING TEST WAVEFORM IN FOCUS |
| Bruce Glushakow

Abstract - Dr. Karl Berger was a
Swiss researcher whose work on Mt. St. Salvatore rates him the title of
“father of direct lightning research.” He documented his findings in an
article published in ELECTRA magazine in 1975. Some 40 years later the
IEC immortalized that work by characterizing it as the closest
representation of the actual lightning flash and using it as the basis
for the parameters of the 10/350 Class 1 test waveform adopted in IEC
62305-1 “Protection against lightning”. This paper examines the content
of Berger’s ELECTRA article and the process by which info extracted from
that article led to the formulation of the 10/350 test waveform. Five
widely held assumptions about lightning parameters which have been
inferred from Berger’s article are examined. When the data that underlie
them are scrutinized, four of those five assumptions are found to be
unsupported by fact. Finally the paper offers some expanded proposals
for testing surge protective devices that rely on more than the
exclusive use of a single testing wave form.

International Conference of Lightning Protection - Article
This paper reviews the history of test waveforms used in SPD testing.
Various lightning-measurement efforts that have been undertaken around
the world were surveyed to see if any parameters could be imputed to a
typical lightning strike. The results show the 10/350 waveform to be an
inappropriate waveform for simulating actual lightning in a laboratory.

The
Truth of the Matter A No-Nonsense Guide
The guide cuts
through the hype and provides clear-cut explanations of the important
principles regarding AC Power Line surge suppression. It does not
promote specific products, but instead attempts to “de-mystify”
specsmanship.
