The Other Brian From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Charles Blackham Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 4:30 AM To: [email protected] Subject: "real-world" lightning protection Group I'm familiar with recommended installation methods for protecting equipment against direct and indirect lightning strikes, but there are a number of countries in which you install your earthing system one day, and the next day someone steals it for the copper.
