Introduction. For direct impacts of linear lightning, developing in an air atmosphere of the Earth with an average rate of 100 discharges per second [1, 2], in the high-altitude engineering structures placed on the earth's surface, the amplitude-time parameters (ATP) pulsed current in the plasma channel its discharge may taking dangerous both for external structural elements, as well as electrical power and low voltage electronic equipment contained within these structures. According to the requirements of the current normative US SAE ARP 5412 and SAE ARP 5416 documents [3, 4], relating mainly to be exposed to direct lightning strikes aerospace objects, the pulse current of the lightning discharge consists of two main components: the pulse A- and long-term C-components. This ATP of normalized pulse A-components of lightning current according to [3, 4] take the following numerical values: current amplitude ImA =± 200 кА (with a tolerance of ± 10%); current action
integral Ja=2T06 A2-s with (with a tolerance of ± 20 %); time corresponding to the amplitude of the current I^, tmA<50 ^s; the duration of the current flow TpA<500 |is. In this case, the normalized ATP of the aperiodic long-term C-component of lightning current should be the following numerical values [3, 4]: the current amplitude ImC = ±(200-800) A; transferred electric charge qC = ±200 C (with a tolerance of ± 20%); the duration of the current flow tpc = (0,25-1) s. In 2007, at the Research and Design Institute «Lightning» of the NTU «KPI» a powerful high-voltage generator type YHTOM-1 artificial lightning current was created [5], which forms on the test technical object ATP pulse current of the lightning discharge on the requirements of the normative documents [3, 4]. The authors are not known publication of the effects of lightning on the elements of technical installations, made of thin-walled stainless steel.

Therefore, estimates of theoretical and experimental studies of the stability of the level (resistance) of such elements to direct lightning strike them with the current parameters close to the limit, are of practical interest.
1. Problem definition. Consider a flat sample with size in plane of 500x500 mm from stainless steel 12X18H10T of 1 mm thickness, which is experiencing the outdoors a direct effect of the plasma channel of artificial lightning, which has a cylindrical shape. Let this channel flow pulsed A- and long-term C- current components of lightning, standardized ATPs that correspond to the requirements given in [3, 4]. It is required initially carry an estimate of the results of the electro-thermal effects on the reporting sample of said pulse current component of artificial lightning, and then using a generator-type YHTOM-1 perform experimental testing electrothermal lighting resistibility prototype to the direct impact it plasma channel artificial lightning.
2. The calculated electrothermal resistance of steel samples to the current of the artificial lightning. We perform the first assessment of the stability of the test specimens of thin steel to act on them pulse current flowing in the channel of the lightning discharge, according to the procedure recommended in [6] by the International Electrotechnical Commission.
2.1. The results of calculations by standardized methodology of evaluate thermal lighting resistibility. The international standard IEC 62305-1 (see Appendix D, formula D.9) shows the analytical relationship, provide an estimate of V0 metal object melted due to the effects of lightning current to it, depending on the elapsed with the amount of electricity in the next form [6]:
V0 = Uac ' qAc x_J_, (1)
d0 Cw(m ~&e)+ Cs'
where V0 is the volume of melted metal of the object, m3; Uac is the anode or cathode DC voltage drop near the object, V; qAc is the the amount of charge carried by the A - or C- component of the lightning current, C; d0 is the density of the object's material, kg/m3; Cw is the heat capacity of the object's material, J/(kg-°C); &m is the melting temperature of the object's material, °C; &e = 80 is the ambient temperature of the surrounding media, °C; Cs is the heat of fusion of the object's material, J/kg.
To assess the size of holes or cavities, which may be formed in this sheet sample of stainless steel with a predetermined thickness h exposed to lightning current, known numerical indicators contact the main physical parameters for stainless steel have been used 12X18H10T shown in Table 1.
After substituting the values of the parameters of the Table 1 in (1) by varying the charge qAc = qc values were obtained cylindrical volume V0 of the molten steel, which, when divided into a thickness h of the sheet, gives the corresponding values of the area round the heating zone and the radius rc of penetration holes in a steel specimen shown in Fig. 1.

For a lightning current C- component of duration TpC from 2 to 40 ms charge qc=qAc=10 C at a current strength is achieved in its channel, ranging from 5 kA to 250 A. When assessing the radius rc formed holes should be borne in mind that the heat flux is supplied in a steel sample is not a dot, and for the area of a circle of radius rmc. Therefore, the molten metal spot radius can not be less than rmc. Radius rmc channel of lightning depends on the strength of the current flowing in it and to normal atmospheric conditions is defined as [8]:
rmc = 0.1M0"3(/mc )05. (2)
where ImC is the maximal value of current for the long-term C-component of lighting current in the plate, A.
The results of calculation by (2) of the value of radius rmc of the channel with C- current component are presented in Table 2.

When the thickness of the steel sheet h=1 mm and the elapsed charge qc=10 C at radius of melting holes therein in accordance with (1) will be approximately equal to rc=1.64 mm. The same radius, starting from (2),
has a lightning channel at a current in it ¡„c = 222 A. We can therefore assume that the action of the steel sheet (h=1 mm) C- components lasting approximately 40 ms and the current strength (the average for the time of the action), about 220 A burning of the sheet will occur. For particular values of C- component qc charge current components which have been observed in experiments (see subsection 4 below), the estimated value of the hole diameter 2rc of the selected sample is melted steel (h=1 mm) at qc=187 C reaches 20.8 mm; and at qc=165 C - 18.0 mm. The results of penetration of the steel plate (h=1 mm) calculated by the method of [6] did not consider the process of heat removal from the sample of the local heating zone of presence of skin effect and merely assume its cylindrical hole burning. Therefore, they are numerically overstated.
2.2. The results of calculations by the method of mathematical modeling based on the applied code. Method of solution of the problem used electrothermal further based on known fundamental analytical solution of the thermal problem for the massive flat metal conductor with instant surface point source disc-shaped heat radius r0 [9]. This analytical solution [8] was the first approximation extended to the case of pulsed current at direct lightning strike into a sheet. Between time 0 < t < t0 in the area of the circular support band channel has a lightning shape heat source disk radius r0 with average heat flux q0(t) applied to the flat outer surface of the metal plate uniform wall. In the cylindrical coordinate system for spatial and temporal changes in the temperature rise 0(rz,t) in the material of the wall of a steel sample thickness h in a circular area of effect to it in time air t surface heat flow with the average density q0(t) of the plasma channel lightning current can write the following approximate solution of the unsteady electrothermal problem [8]:

where d(r,z,t) = (0t - 60) is the temperature rise of the wall material of the metal sample; 8t is the current and time-varying temperature of the flat wall of the sample material; 80 is the ambient temperature of the air around the wall; r is the radial coordinate directed from the axis of the current channel of lightning along the wall of a flat sample; z is the longitudinal coordinate directed from the lightning current hearth heat exposure inside the center of the flat walls of the sample; q0(r) is the average density acting on the wall surface steel sample heat flow caused by lightning plasma channel;

t, v are the auxiliary variables; r0(r) is the current value of the lightning current channel radius; t is the current time;
t0 is the duration of the pulsed A- and long-term C-components of the lighting current; J0, J1 are the respectively the Bessel functions of zero and first order; A0, c0 are the respectively the thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of the wall of the volume of flat steel material sample taken for the solved problem constants.
Described briefly the mathematical model has been implemented as an application program [10], which allows the calculation of the consequences of thermal effects on the pulsed A- and long-term C- components of lightning current. Here joint consistent effect on steel samples of said lightning current component is not considered. The results of the approximate numerical calculations on the program [10] the thermal action of only one pulse A- component lightning current on a steel sample (h=1 mm) are presented in Table 3.

In addition to the above, we note that we are considering the case of the radius r0A channel lightning pulse A- component according to its current by the Braginsky formula as follows [8]:
r0A = 0.093(I„A )1l3(t„A )05. (4)
When ¡mA=192 kA and tmA=34 |is radius r0A of the lightning channel, calculated at (4) is equal to 31.3 mm. It is evident that this numerical value of radius r0A=31.3 mm is consistent with the radius of rmA=31.6 mm surface melting steel sample zone, caused by the action of pulse A- component to it. As a result of pulsed A- component with a current ¡mA=192 kA, through penetration of the sheet is not observed. In accordance with Table A.3 of the Standard [6] with a current probability of lightning more 200 kA is not more than 0.01 (1 %). Therefore, thermal effect alone activities A- lightning impulse current component of the steel sheet with a thickness h=1 mm and more can be ignored in terms of occurrence of it therein through hole.
The results of assessment on the basis of (2) and (3) a steel plate (h=1 mm) on the thermal action on its outer surface of long-term lightning current C- component are shown below in Table 4.
It should be noted, that the physics of the process in real lightning current sheet is more complicated than in the above calculation model. An important factor here is the consistent flow of the A- and C- current components. As a result, the wall is done preheating object A-component of the current. Therefore, obtained by [10], the results underestimate the value of the radius of the hole in the steel sheet for the received version of their action. We
can assume that the actual size of the hole in a sheet of two-component impact of natural lightning are between the values of the diameters calculated according to the methods discussed above.

3. The test circuit and the electrical parameters of high-power high-voltage generators of PCG-4 and PCG-C. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the type of generator YHTOM-1 used in the experimental studies on electrothermal lighting resistibility of test specimens (TS) of the selected steel roofing technical facilities. From this scheme it is clear that the structure of two separate and parallel operating one electrical load type YHTOM-1 generator included TS of pulse current generator (PCG), one of which PCG-A simulates pulse A- component of an artificial lightning current and other PCG-C - long-term C- component of artificial lightning current. We point out that their own electrical parameters of the discharge circuit generator HIT-A up [5]: resistance RA-0.057 Q; inductance LA-2,5 ^H; capacity CA -333 ^F. Own the electrical parameters of the discharge circuit generator PCG-C were equal to [5]: resistance RC-4.74 Q; inductance LC-11.43 mH; capacitance CC-45.36 mF. Generator PCG-A was compiled on the basis of 111 parallel-connected high-voltage pulse capacitors such as HK-50-3 (rated voltage of ±50 kV; nominal capacity 3 ^F) and PCG-C generator - based on 324 parallel connected high-voltage pulse capacitors HM2-5-140 (nominal voltage ±5 kV; nominal capacity 140 ^F) [5, 11]. The discharge circuit generator PCG-A three-electrode mounted air switch F1 with massive steel electrodes, and the discharge circuit PCG-C generator -air-electrode switch F2 with graphite electrodes.

High-voltage switches F1 and F2 are high voltage products of own production [12]. Flat steel sample according to Fig. 2 firmly fixed on the desktop, a powerful generator of YHTOM-1 between the massive aluminum electrodes that are connected to the bit generator circuits PCG-A and PSG-C. In the test circuit as shown in Fig. 2 for playback on plasma channel TS artificial lightning using air two-electrode system (TES), provided with a thin electrically exploding wire (EEW). As an EEW in accordance with [3, 4], a copper wire with a diameter of 0.2 mm and a length le=(37-50) mm. Fig. 3 shows in enlarged form the TES of the generator desktop YHTOM-1. The air gap between the top ha a massive cylindrical electrode TES and massive flat bottom electrode - TS could range from 27 to 14 mm. Air gap ha in TES between EEW and TS remained unchanged and equal to about 1 mm.

Charge voltages of high-voltage capacitors generators PCG-A and PSG-C to perform the planned experiments selected negative polarity, and the modules, respectively, their levels do not exceed U3A<25 kV and U3C<4.2 kV. Selecting the polarity of the charging voltages U3A and U3C determines the need for physical modeling of the most severe in terms of electrothermal conditions described in the TES and, respectively, in the area round the binding of a high cylindrical plasma channel with artificial lightning current on the outer surface of the flat steel roof TS technical facilities. To prevent mechanical damage to the capacitor banks generators PCG-A and PSG-C and provide the required safety conditions and safety for maintenance powerful generator type YHTOM-1 personnel in the emergency mode of his work (for example, in electrical breakdown of insulation of at least one of the 435 these capacitors in their charge or discharge) all high-voltage outputs are used capacitors generators PCG-A and PSG-C protective resistance were installed, made from high-voltage constant bulk graphite-ceramic resistors type TB0-60 for DC voltage ±25 kV [5, 13]. Moreover, in the terminal of the capacitor-type HK-50-3 were installed protective resistors type TBO 60-24 Q (rigid assembly of four parallel connected resistors), and HM2-5-140 type capacitor terminals - one protective resistor type TBO-60-100 Q. Parallel operation of generators PCG-A and PSG-C on steel roof of the TS according to the diagram in Fig. 1 simultaneous actuation of high-voltage three-electrode-managed air switch F1 with massive hemispherical steel main electrodes at the rated voltage of ±50 kV [12] and the high-voltage two-electrode air switch F2 with massive rectangular graphite electrodes containing a flat working surface, a rated voltage of
±10 kV [12]. In turn, the synchronous operation of switches F1 and F2 performed by feeding through the separating capacity Cp to switch F1 average spherical steel electrode set fire by a generator of high-voltage pulses (GHVP) of microsecond duration voltage pulse amplitude to ±100 kV [5, 12]. In the breakdown by GHVP one of the two air gaps switch F1 and its subsequent activation occurs surge voltage to a TES with TS leads to virtually simultaneous with it and triggering the switch F2. After tripping switches F1 and F2 due to discharge pre-charged high-voltage capacitors generators PCG-A and PSG-C through TS of steel roofing technical facilities begin to flow simulated lightning current pulses required by [3, 4] ATP. It should be noted that the nominal value of the stored electrical energy in the power generators PCG-A and PSG-C are respectively 416 and 567 kJ [5, 8, 13].
Measuring ATP of pulsed A- and long-term C-artificial lightning current component in the identity of the roof steel was carried out with the help of attorneys metrological service measuring coaxial shunt type OK-300 [14], has for these currents, respectively, conversion factors Ka-10417 A/V and K-5219 A/V and digital storage oscilloscope Tektronix TDS 1012 type.

The following two types of experiments to determine the electrothermal lighting resistibility identical TS steel roofs have been received for the same values of charging voltage in the PCG-A and PSG-C (U3a=-25 kV; U3C=-4.2 kV), the air gap h—1 mm and two values of the air gap ha, equal to 27 and 14 mm.

1—Oct—15 11:14 <10H: Fig. 6. Waveform of pulsed A- component of artificial lightning current acting on the TS of the roof
From decoding of the waveform it follows that for this case the amplitude of the first pulse A- component of artificial lightning current TS steel roof was ¡1mA~-192 kA. This amplitude decaying exponentially oscillating current component corresponds to the time tmA, equal to 34 ^s. The duration of the first half-wave t1a current in this case was about 94 ^s, and the total duration of the current components tpa simulated lightning - about 500 ^s. Fig. 7 is a waveform of C- aperiodic long-term artificial lightning current amplitude components ¡mC~ -804 A, flowing in the id stainless steel roof (h=1 mm). It can be seen that the duration of this component tc lightning surge current at 0.5-ImC was equal to about 160 ms, and its complete length tpc - about 0.516 s. tmC time corresponding ¡„c amplitude equals to 9 ms.
Fig. 7. Waveform of long-term C- component of artificial lightning current acting on the TS of the roof
According to Fig. 6 on the curve of the long-term C- components of artificial lightning current, especially in the final stages of its course, clearly visible multiple
superimposed oscillations due to combustion instability of TS pulse arc of the roof in the air gap length ha=27 mm. At the current time t, equal to tpC~0.516 s, given the instability of the arc leads to the edge of the plasma channel and an end to the long-term C- component of the current in the tested TS of the steel roof. Decoding the waveform in Fig. 6 shows that over time the amount of electricity from tpC^0.516 s, elapsed in the discharge circuit of the generator PSG-C through the TS of the roof, was in this case the absolute value of about 178 C. This charge corresponds to the average value of current used in current components in the TS equal /CC~qCltpC~-345 A.
Figures 8 and 9 show the outer appearances and back surfaces of the TS steel roof after co-exposure to the pulsed A- and long-term C- artificial lightning current component with the ATP, the relevant data waveforms in Fig. 6 and 7. It can be seen that the penetration through the wall of the roof TS stainless steel thickness h=1 mm, in this case (ha=27 mm) has not occurred. Rounded binding zone on the outer surface of the steel roof TS of pulsed A- component of simulated lightning current was the largest dimension of up to 60 mm. The depth of the crater formed in this area does not exceed 50 ^m. The circular zone of long-term C- binding prolonged artificial lightning current local melting of the components occurred TS steel wall material of the roof, having a melting point of about 1455 °C [7, 15]. The diameter of the melting zone as shown in Fig. 8 and 9 does not exceed 23 mm. On the back surface of the steel roof of the TS clearly manifested «discoloration» the action of its material high temperature pulsed Joule heating.

Figures 10 and 11 show waveforms respectively for pulsed A - and long-term C- prolonged artificial lightning current components obtained with respect to the test steel roof of the TS electrothermal lighting resistibility decreases in TES value ha to 14 mm. ATP of the pulsed components of the simulated lightning current at the same time fully consistent with the ATP this current component of the lightning discharge, shown in Fig. 6. With regard to ATP of the long-term C- component of the current simulated lightning, in this case (ha=14 mm; le=37 mm) were changed only their three parameters: total duration iC current flow decreased to rpC=0.448 s; elapsed charge has decreased to a value of qC-165 C; average current increased to the level of iCC- -367 A. Despite these changes in the long-term ATP of the long-term C-components of artificial lightning current, in this case occurred keyhole TS roof wall stainless steel with thickness h=1 mm. Diameter 2rc penetration holes in TS was 12 mm (Fig. 12).

Obtained when ha=14 mm experimental results concerning the keyhole simulated lightning current of the test thin-walled sample steel roof technical facilities, it can be explained by the fact that a decrease in the length of the air gap ha in TES (respectively, and the length le for EEW) desktop type used generator YHTOM-1 comes stabilization zones binding on the outer surface of the TS steel roof of plasma channels for long-term C- and pulsed A- artificial lightning current component. In addition, the decrease in the value ha prevents branching (division) in the air cylinder configuration corresponding plasma channels for high-voltage electrical pulse and arcs (trace smelting from such channel separation for simulated C-current components of lightning just present in Fig. 8 and 9) which also contributes to the local concentration of heat energy generated in the material studied stainless steel roofing samples.

External view of the area with a diameter of about 12 mm of penetration through the flat wall TS steel roof (h=1 mm; ha=14 mm) by a direct action on long-term C- component of the current artificial lightning and rounded zone diameters up to 58 mm in its surface melting from direct action on TS of pulsed A- components of with standardized requirements for [3, 4] ATP
In favor of this physical explanation of penetration through the wall of the test thin-walled steel roof TS used by us pulse currents with a decrease in the length of the air gap in the TES ha (even with a decrease in leaked through the TS of the electric charge for a long-term C-artificial lightning current component from 178 to 165 C) show results followed by a series of experiments carried out on a powerful generator type yHTOM-1 study at TS ha=14 mm. Figures 13 and 14 show the corresponding waveform for use in this case pulse current component of artificial lightning. If the curve for the pulse current component A simulated lightning in the latter case, repeats similar curves for this current component of artificial lightning, shown in Fig. 6 and 10, the curve for long-term C- lightning current component are significantly different from those of the current curves shown in Fig. 7 and 11. These differences mainly relate to more stable combustion over TES in high TS iC pulsed arc with a current in the air gap length ha=14 mm. One of the signs of the process flow of the arc is the virtual absence of the curve aperiodic current iC imposed considerable amplitude fluctuations (see Fig. 14). The consequence of this electromagnetic process is increased the total duration TpC flow through pulse current TS steel roof iC, reaching the numerical value of 0.736 s. This implies also an increased amount of electricity qC~ -187 C, elapsed through a rounded zone of the plasma channel binding long-term C- component of artificial lightning current on the outer surface of the TS.

Fig. 15 shows the appearance of the direct results of the joint impact on the flat thin-walled (h=1 mm; ha=14 mm) of the TS roof stainless steel pulsed A- and long-term C- artificial lightning current component normalized by [3, 4], the ATP which led to keyhole steel wall TS. 2rmA diameter of the surface (to a depth of no more than 50 ^m) electrothermal exposure chamber on the outer surface of the flat roof on steel TS from pulsed A- simulated lightning current components made with up to 59 mm. The diameter of the holes in the area of penetration through the wall of the test sample from the roof of the electrothermal effect on her long-term component of the current long-term C- simulated lightning was 15 mm.

This comparison is conducted for the case of a direct action on experimental walled (h=1 mm), the samples of stainless steel 12X18H10T C- current component shown in Table 5 (the experiments were performed at the air gap length in TES ha=14 mm).

Conclusions.
1. The results obtained at the Research and Design Institute «Lightning» of the NTU «KPI» computational and experimental evaluation studies electrothermal resistance experienced flat sample size in terms 500x500 mm stainless steel 1 mm thick to the direct impact on them in the air of pulsed A - and long-term C- artificial lightning current components with standardized ATPs according to the applicable requirements of the US regulations SAE ARP 5412 and SAE ARP 5416 indicate that we investigated thin-walled steel samples can be exposed keyhole. The diameter of the through-hole
penetration in the investigated samples of steel round anchor zone on the outer surface of the plasma channel of long-term C- components of simulated in the laboratory lightning current can reach 15 mm.
2. A significant influence on the results of the electrothermal effects of artificial lightning plasma channels with A - and C- components of the pulse current at the steel studied experienced technical facilities provide examples of electrical processes of binding the corresponding plasma channels on their outer surface and burning them on a high-voltage pulse of the arc in the air gap TES used in the experiments, a powerful high-voltage generator type YHTOM-1 artificial lightning current.
3. To prevent possible flashpoint of flammable liquids and materials, placed under the bottom of the thin-walled steel liner with these characteristics, is striking in the open air directly blows high-lightning, it requires the development of specific technical measures that increase the fire safety of such technical facilities to act on them large pulsed lightning currents.
