Deteksi Lokasi Petir dengan Metoda Magnetic Direction Finder

Abstract

Lightning dischare can cause destruction to the struck object and the other object that feel electromagnetic field interference cause lightning. Lightning process associatedwith movement of charge so that can be observed by measurement magnetic field. Two loop magnetic antena (north/south loop perpendicular to west/east loop) use to determinethe direction of lightning flash. The principleis comparinheg t output voltage from each sensor. Each station will give angle valuestowardlightning. Lightning location will get from calculate intersection of three line lightning magnetic field with use Magnetic Direction Finding (MDF) method. From 275 lightning data with record we get 20 data that have same time. From 20 data we get 3 lightning data that produce pointlocation oflightning. Three angulation of lightning location than optimized, the result is a point of lightning location and we get site error from the angle of calculation result. Avarage percentation for station 1, station 2 and station 3 is 2,88 %, 2,58 %, 1,16 %.
