Abstract

Lightning is the most fabulous nature phenomena generally known as lightning flashes. The lightning flashes generate electric field considered as radiations which are high and low frequency radiation. The purpose of this project is to automate the operation of RC circuit during lightning closed event by using the Arduino Uno. This project allowed to have a small structure of lightning mechanism during closed event activities. By changing the decay time constant it will produced a clean signal without association of electrostatic field when lightning occurred at the distance less than 30 km. The experiment was conduct by using the flat plate and whip plate antenna that will used to sense the induced voltage produce by lightning flashes, then the induced voltage is sent to the circuit control signal, this circuit consist of the RC circuit and voltage follower to control the signal between antenna and transient recorder. Then the signal profile of lightning will display on oscilloscope to be analyzed. The measurement was conducted at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. The analysis had been done by focusing on the characteristics of negative cloud to ground. Besides that, lightning strike were unique and difficult to understand. So, more information and latest equipment needed for preparation for future research.
