An Efficient Approach for Transient Analysis of Horizontal Rod Buried in Ionized Lossy Soils

In this paper a simple analysis based on multiconductor transmission line model for horizontal rods under highvalued lightning currents presents. In comparison with the other numerical method carried out before, this analysis is numerically efficient. In addition, since this model is in the frequency domain, the frequency dependence of electrical parameters of soil (dispersion of soil) as well as ionization can be taken into account
