Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evaluation of electromagnetic fields generated by lightning discharges is extremely important in order to guarantee the reliability of electrical and electronic systems as well as the people safety. Modeling, analysis and numerical considerations represent crucial issues to be addressed in order to provide innovative solutions in the lightning protection field.
Researchers around the world are welcomed to provide their contribution in the field, focusing on innovative methods for the computation, analysis on particular frameworks where the protection should be enhanced and new models able to provide better insights in the lightning phenomenon.

Abstract: The paper discusses the impact of HV/LV transformer on apparatus protection needs against lightning, in particular the probability of damage of apparatus powered by HV/LV is carefully examined. An approach based on surge protective devices (SPD) selection and installation is proposed to assure service continuity of LV systems. The contribution refers to typical cases and consequently gives a holistic approach to protection measures selection against lighting.
