These I\&C-cables can be routed in reinforced concrete cable ducts or in isolated buried cable runs. KTA 2206 is the German lightning protection standard for nuclear power plants. During the last several years considerable effort has been made to revise this standard. Despite the well established principles and design guidelines for the construction of the lightning protection system, this standard puts special emphasis on the coupling of transient overvoltages to I\&C-cables.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZischankHeidlerKernetal.2002, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Kern, Alexander and Metwally, I.

These equations are based on computer simulations for shields consisting of a single-layer steel grid of a given mesh width. Real constructions, however, contain at least two layers of reinforcement steel grids. The objective of this study was to experimentally determine the additional shielding effectiveness of a second reinforcement layer compared to a single-layer grid. To this end, simulated structures were set up in the high current laboratory. The structures consisted of cubic cages of 2 m side length with one or with two reinforcement grids, respectively. The structures were exposed to direct lightning currents representing the variety of anticipated lightning current waveforms. The magnetic fields and their derivatives at several positions inside the structure as well as the voltage between "floor" and "roof" in the center were determined for different current injection points. From these data the improvement of the shielding caused by a second reinforcement layer is derived.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZischankHeidlerWiesingeretal.2004, author = {Zischank, Wolfgang J. and Heidler, Fridolin and Wiesinger, J. and Stimper, K. and Kern, Alexander and Seevers, M.}, title = {Magnetic Fields and Induced Voltages inside LPZ 1 Measured at a 1:6 Scale Model Building}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Laborexperimente zu Blitzschutzzonen in Stahlbetongeb{\"a}uden anhand eines Modells im Maßstab 1:6}, language = {en} }
