_____ 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. Does anyone have any experience of providing useful lightning protection for outdoor mounted equipment under these conditions? thanks Charlie No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
