Hi folks – I have a bit off the wall question for you.
The NEC code requires grounding to protect the consumer against lightning induced effects: Q. How much isolation would be required between the lightning-energized external hardware and the internals of electronic equipment to provide the equivalent protect if the external hardware were (for some reason) ungrounded?
