Resumen
In electrical protection, there is a method of electrical protection of buildings
against atmospheric discharges called the electro-geometric method or the
rolling sphere method. So far, it is possible to achieve the implementation of
this method graphically, that is, representing through plans and technical
drawings, the protection conditions of the analyzed structure and obtaining
from these graphic representations the protection parameters with the
consequent errors caused by the scales and dimensions of the work plane. In
the present work, a mathematical model is obtained that allows, using
specific calculations, to analyze the dynamic behavior of a protection system
against atmospheric discharges without worrying about the limitations given
by the scales and planes. The set of equations obtained in the model allows
us to determine the different parameters that define the protection system
against atmospheric discharges (lightning) without depending on the
graphical representation of the system's topology.
