Some time ago we held a webinar on active lightning protection with Professor Eduard Meerovitch Bazelyan. Comments and questions from participants of the webinar showed that the debate among designers, electrical engineers and manufacturers of active lightning protection is still fierce.
Is it possible to control the point of lightning strike in favor of the applied lightning protection? To answer this question it is necessary to take into account many factors like: economic efficiency, ease of use and the most important thing - reliability.
Read the article by Professor E.M. Bazelyan "Whether active lightning rods are active?" to get the answers.
