主 题:lightning copper wire broken
摘 要:When a lightning current is impressed through a copper wire, the copper wire would be melted. A straight thin copper wire with a diameter of 0.1 mm,~ is melted due to the specific melting Joule heating (j^2t)m in an adiabatic condition. However, it has been recognized in the experiment that the thicker copper wires of φ1 mm are not completely melted, but sheared mainly at the connecting terminal by a relatively low impulse current. Electro-magnetic mechanical shearing stress, etc. are discussed in addition to the conventional Joule heating. New broken mechanisms were presumed and proved in the additional experiments.
