(OP)
Hello,
Question regarding substation shielding: can I confirm that a metallic equipment support structure, or wooden for that matter, also double as a lightning Mast? I cannot find it specically noted in the IEEE standard.
Thanks in advance.

RE: IEEE STD 998
While the whole structure may not specifically fit the IEEE Std 998 definition of lightning mast because it is not a column or narrow-base structure, you could consider each column of the structure to be a lightning mast.
