New article by Prof. Eduard M. Bazelyan, "You Can't Avoid Experiments in Lightning Protection", on our website. The article is based on questions asked by a participant of the webinar "Issue of Lightning Protection Improvement" held in December 2024.
The article by E. Bazelyan "You Can't Avoid Experiments in Lightning Protection" brings up the relevant issues related to the design and calculations for the lightning protection system. The author discusses the need for experimental testing of theoretical techniques, emphasizing that it is impossible to ensure the lightning protection reliability without proper practical experiments. The article studies the issues, such as adjustment of lightning current data, consideration of the protection reliability, dynamics of grounding resistance changes, and electrical safety issues. Particular attention is paid to the importance of laboratory and field experiments to confirm analytic models to prevent excessive spending and improve safety.
