Testing of Lightning Protection System
Modern diagnostic testing is available to mimic the performance of
lightning conducting devices as well as to indicate the general
route of lightning through structures. This testing typically is low
power, 50 watt or less. It is traceable, but will not trip MOVs, gas
tube arrestors, or other transient protection devices. With such
techniques, lightning paths can be forecast reliably.
Codes & Standards
It is important to check that the equipment conforms with codes and
standards set by reputable organizations such as IEC, IEEE, MIL-STD,
FAA, NASA.
