Yep, that's the kind of info I found ---useless without the discharge time. Also in volts, in amps... but never in joules or anything that let me calculate the joules.Baluncore said:
I notice that the EU standard for lightning protection, EN-62305 page 35, quotes a figure of 10 MJ/Ohm for the energy delivered in 10% worst case flashes.xpell said:Yes I have, and I didn't find anything useful. That's why I came to ask.

The most energetic lightning "superbolts" ever measured are extremely rare and powerful lightning strikes that release over 100 times more energy than a typical lightning bolt.
"Superbolts" are different from regular lightning bolts in their intensity and energy release. They can be up to 100 times more powerful and can travel much farther than a typical lightning bolt.
Scientists use specialized instruments called lightning mapping arrays to measure and record "superbolts". These arrays can capture the entire lightning event, including the initial breakdown, the main lightning stroke, and the continuing current.
The exact cause of "superbolts" is still unknown, but scientists believe that they are the result of a combination of factors including strong upward currents in thunderstorms, a high concentration of electric charge, and favorable atmospheric conditions.
Currently, "superbolts" cannot be predicted with any level of accuracy. However, scientists are working to better understand the conditions that lead to their occurrence in hopes of eventually being able to predict them.
