Fußnoten
1
A lightning stroke is a lightning discharge between a thundercloud and the ground and commonly referred to as cloud-to-ground lightning. The most common type of lightning stroke is referred to as a negative lightning stroke and usually originates near the bottom of the cloud with a large concentration of negative charge in the cloud base. The term negative lightning means that there is a net transfer of negative charge from the cloud to the ground. Positive lightning strokes represent only about 5 % of the lightning strokes and tend to originate in the more positively charged top of the cloud.

Refer to Lightning and Insulator Subcommittee of the T&D Committee, Parameters of Lightning Strokes: A Review, IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, Vol. 20, No. 1, January 2005, for the actual range of values.

IEEE C62.41.1, Guide On The Surge Environment In Low-Voltage (1000 V And Less) AC Power Circuits, uses the terms “direct flash”, “near flash”, and “far flash” to distinguish between lightning strokes and how they induce a surge on a facility.

Refer to IEEE 1100, Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment, for additional information regarding the effects of surges.
