RE: Earthing and Lightning Protection

The guys at PowerCET have produced a text called "Lightning Hardening and Advanced Surge Protection".  You'll have to google them to find it, but it's very well done.

Best to ya,

You can also go to Thompson Lightning Protection Inc., www.tlpinc.com and get very useful information.  They manufacture all manner of lightning protection equipment and systems.

Good Luck,
