Hi Bruce,
Yes, the IEEE std is a good resource - one of the best. And I
might as well take this opportunity to (one more time) point to a
very exhaustive resource that includes references to all the
pertinent standards as well as understandable explanatory
information about the "why" of everything involving lightning
protection and grounding issues.
Anyone interested in understanding lightning protection and
grounding systems should get themselves a copy of MIL-HDBK-419A.
This is without a doubt the best single reference source that I
have ever seen on this subject.
BTW, the NFPA document is now called NFPA 780. Here is the URL
to the spot on the NFPA site where this reference can be
obtained:
http://www.nfpa.org/home.html
You will have to follow the links in this order:
1. On Line catalog
2. Codes and Standards
3. NFPA 780: Standard for the Installation of Lightning
Protection Systems, 1997 Edition
