- Les I have read the message you posted on the lightning protection forum. First, we must recognize that no level of protection will totally protect electronic equipment from lightning damage. We can

- Better not to think of it as a transmission line, rather, a straight inductance. 8 feet is about 2-3 microhenries (in a straight line). If the full stroke current flows through it, the voltage can be

- Hi Jim, Shunt suppressors should terminate to ground (preferably at a SPG bulkhead) not another parallel conductor. BTW, I am not familiar with series suppressors (my own ignorance) other than the se

- Series-mode suppressors have been developed that are quite effective on power line branch circuits. They work by storing the strike voltage in a very large inductor, then discharging it slowly once t

- One example would be a series L followed by a shunt C (yes.. a low pass filter).. In a typical transient, the real problem is the high peak voltage, not necessarily the actual energy in the transient

- Jim Your are correct in all of your comments and I agree fully. I did not go to that level of detail as I was trying to keep my comments relatively simple. The reason I mentioned that non UL listed d
