Contents

The communication deals with the reaction of an extended conductor on an earthing device. Relatively exact as well as approximate formulae are suggested and compared.

Übersicht

Die Rückwirkung einer vergrabenen Schiene auf einen Erder wird untersucht; verhältnismäßig exakte sowohl als auch Näherungsgleichungen werden vorgeschlagen und verglichen.
