Hey All, I am trying to think of a way to detect if a tower at one of our sites gets a direct hit. I was thinking of paralleling a ground strap with a 10mA amp glass fuse. Maybe make the two connections to the ground stap 2 ft apart and use a fuse holder for fuse testing and replacement. I suspect the fuse would blow if any significant current went down the ground strap (or would the whole thing melt? I suppose either way I'd know!). Ideas?
I live in an area that doesn't see a lot of lightning, I'm curious if the tower gets hit. Jesse
