Abstract :
In this paper, the authors present the application of the methodology and computational procedures described in part I of this paper to basic practical problems of electromagnetic compatibility, including: the effects of lightning discharges in electrical grounding systems and the definition of risks for human safety; for equipment damage and of noncorrect operation of control and protection schemes; procedures to limit the consequences of lightning; interference, through ground systems, in sensitive circuits, considering frequency dependence of interaction of power equipment with sensitive elements and surge type phenomena; and procedures to limit interference
