Useful Equations for Calculating the Induced Voltage Inside a Faraday Cage that has been Struck by Lightning

Jorgenson, Roy E.; Warne, Larry K.

One of the tasks performed routinely by the Electromagnetics and Plasma Physics Analysis Department at Sandia National Laboratories is analyzing the effects of direct-strike lightning on Faraday cages that protect sensitive items. The Faraday cages analyzed thus far have many features in common. This report is an attempt to collect equations and other information that have been routinely used in the past in order to facilitate future analysis.
