Abstract
The results of physical modeling of the influence of corona discharge intensity at the grounded objects tips on the probability of their strokes by high-voltage discharges in the long air gaps "high voltage rod –rod on the grounded plane" are presented. The system consisting of a vertical high-voltage negative electrode rod, simulating the lightning channel leader, and two grounded rods, simulating lightning rods (one with a spherical and the second with a pointed tip) has been investigated. Before application of the high voltage impulse up to 1 MV to the high-voltage electrode, the pre-breakdown DC electric field (EF) was applied to the electrode system. The experiments have shown that corona presence at the pointed electrode tip increases probability of being struck by high-voltage discharges at application of the DC electrical field strength, which is of the same order as the impulse EF strength.
