No. A radial system prevents current flow in the earth by providing a much lower impedance path for that current. It also provides capacitive coupling to the earth for lightning, so it can improve li

I suspect that the radial system doesn't "prevent" current flow but instead shunts a large portion of it. I think further discussion would be helpful here. I suspect that in all cases except an infin

That's a good way to look at it -- it's a question of degree. If you put a 1 ohm resistor in parallel with a 100 ohm resistor, the 1 ohm resistor prevents 99% of the current flow in the 100 ohm resis

I don't have any personal data to validate this, but W8JI, N6BT and others have claimed that verticals with modest numbers of low elevated radials have increased losses when there is also a path to e
