Webinar 1. "Lightning protection you didn't know about!"
(ended May 27, 2015, at 16:00 MSK)

Speaker: Peter Carpenter, vice president, LEC

When we talk about lightning protection, most of us imagine a traditional air terminal designed to divert the lightning current into the soil. No wonder, as this is the most simple and intuitive device, which has been here for over 200 years now. However, the progress forges ahead, and new methods to protect facilities against direct lightning strikes and their consequences appear every year.
Webinar program:

  1. The nature of lightning. Environmental conditions before, during and after the atmospheric electrical discharge.
  2. Corrective protection methods. Traditional lightning protection systems that correct or "collect and divert" the lightning current.
  3. Lightning prevention technologies. Systems designed to prevent lightning strike into facilities on the protected territory.
  4. The Use of lightning prevention technology. The examples of use in various industrial facilities around the world.
