Lightning-generated electric field measurement is used to characterize cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes. Prior to the first return stroke (FRS), these signals sometimes exhibit a pulse train, known as preliminary breakdown pulses (PBP), whose study provides information about the first event that originate the breakdown process inside the cloud. Considering that characteristics of PBPs may change according to geographical conditions, in this work, six parameters (temporal and magnitude) associated with 69 trains identified in negative CG flashes that occurred in the Bogota savannah, Colombia were analyzed. The signatures were recorded in 2017 using a fast response antenna (10 MHz bandwidth), a 100 ns sampling time and a window of 500 ms. Among the most relevant results, it was found that the train duration ( ) varied from 0.5 ms up to 5.2 ms with arithmetic mean (AM) of 1.74 ms, while the time interval between the peak of the train and the FRS (PBP-FRS) had an AM and a geometric mean (GM) of 35.7 ms and 10.2 ms, respectively. On the other hand, the ratio between the peak value of the PBP and its FRS ( ) exhibited an AM of 0.7 and a GM of 0.56. It was concluded that PBP train starts with low amplitude pulses, later increases its magnitude in the central region and decreases at the end. Furthermore, bipolar pulses with similar polarity to that of the FRS were identified at the beginning and in the middle of the train, while unipolar pulses were observed at the end of the signatures. ; La medición del campo eléctrico generado por rayos es comúnmente usada para caracterizar rayos nube-tierra (CG). Previo a la primera descarga de retorno (FRS), estas señales exhiben algunas veces un tren de pulsos conocido como pulsos de descargas preliminares (PBP), cuyo estudio proporciona información sobre el primer evento que origina el proceso de descarga dentro de la nube. Considerando que las características de los PBP pueden cambiar de acuerdo con las condiciones geográficas, en este trabajo se analizaron seis parámetros ...
