Abstract:
Lightning Protection is becoming a necessity for any and all industries across the world. The rate, frequency and strength of lightning strikes along with storms are increasing. Areas that do not normally experience a large number of lightning strikes are being hit more often and areas that do usually see major storms and heavy lightning are being hit harder and longer. The North eastern United States and Europe have seen an increased number of lightning strikes measurably in the last few years.
Facility lightning protection is increasingly important, first because electronics are more susceptible to the secondary effects of lightning, even when properly grounded, and second because the incidence of lightning is increasing as the globe follows a warming trend.
This training session is developed to help professional engineers further understand the phenomena of lightning and how strikes, and their associated damage, to chemical and manufacturing facilities is controllable and preventable.
