When the equipment floats it "rides" the surge wave like you would as a surfer on a board. So the 18 VDC is relative and the strike just changes the voltage it relates to. At least that is my simpletons understanding. I don't know if the design changes and the protocols being used needed a tighter reference to ground to make sens of the higher QUAM or what. But, those were the days.
