In my experience....the only way to protect equipment is bond everything together...as described by many....and then take every possible measure to keep the lightning OUTSIDE the building. One it gets inside, it will find a valuable piece of equipment--even if it is still in the shipping container!! It's a corillary to one of Edsel Murphy's laws... The bonding really helps mostly for secondary "hits" and paths to ground. Direct hits will wipe most of our current microprocessor-based hardware. In many cases, the results of the "hit" are not seen for weeks or months. Ralph Matheny K8RYU 207 Gibbons Place Marietta Ohio 45750 |
