In this paper, variation in electrical properties of CFRP caused by relatively low magnitude current impulses discharged through CFRP coupons are reported, and internal changes of the composite, due to current impulses, are studied. Based on electrical resistance measurements caused by these currents, property changes in CFRP composite coupons of two different carbon ply orientations are compared. Furthermore, it will be investigated if the changes caused by current impulses are mainly focused in the region of the current injection at the edges of composite coupons, or are they distributed uniformly through the bulk of the composite.
