What is the formation mechanism of the "ground potential rise"? How it cause damage to electrical and electronic equipment inside and outside the building?
Mar 19 , 2026
Ground potential rise is caused by transient high potentials resulting from lightning current entering the ground. When lightning strikes a building's lightning rod or the nearby ground, thousands to hundreds of thousands of amperes of lightning current are discharged through the grounding system. Due to the resistance and inductance of the grounding system, according to U=IR+L·di/dt, the potentia...
