In this paper, the relationship between current front time and front time of vertical electric field due to lightning channel at non perfect ground is considered. Results showed that the peak of simulated vertical electric fields under non perfect ground conductivity condition is decreased compared to the corresponding field at perfect ground while the front time of field is increased at non perfect case compared to the perfect one. Likewise, the effect of ground conductivity on the peak and front time of simulated vertical electric field is considered and the results are discussed accordingly.References
