An arc lamp sits in the middle of a steel box. A 30000V pulse 1usec wide is applied to start the lamp. What kind of currents may I expect will be induced in the steel box due to this start pulse? I only need an order-of-magnitude answer, so make any simplifications you need. This is not a hypothetical question. This is a fair description of a medical product we are about to introduce. Thanks for any help you can offer.
