Electromagnetic Pulse Propagation Modeling and Measurements of a Termination Cabinet

Bowman, Tyler B.; Timmins, Ian T.; Strachen, Nathan

This work developed a methodology for transmission line modeling of cable installations to predict the propagation of conducted high altitude electromagnetic pulses in a substation or generating plant. The methodology was applied to a termination cabinet example that was modeled with SPICE transmission line elements with information from electromagnetic field modeling and with validation using experimental data. The experimental results showed reasonable agreement to the modeled propagating pulse and can be applied to other installation structures in the future.
