Surges/transients due to direct or indirect lightning strikes or switching faults are common phenomena in multiconductor transmission line (MTL) systems above ground, whether it is power systems, railway systems, communication systems or electronic systems with printed circuit board lands. In a given MTL system, transient surge in any one of the conductors (emitter) causes crosstalk in other adjacent conductors (receptors). It’s a common electromagnetic interference (EMI) phenomenon due to electromagnetic coupling between the conductors. In this chapter, we discuss the methods to study the crosstalk mechanisms in above ground MTL systems and also by examples show various parameters that could infl uence the crosstalk mechanisms. Analysis in time and frequency domain will be also made wherever necessary.
