A little late to the party here, but it might interest you all to know that the
military has its own well-constructed standards for lightning protection. Army
Technical Manual 5-690 is a wonderful educational resource that explains the
rationale for various measures quite clearly (and covers mu

Not much lightening here. LOTS of leftover & ignorant goo in these specs. Like

Only the best for the US military!

Sounds like a perfect solution to me. The UL website lists 14 pages of

When I came across language like this in an RFP, my assumption was that we
needed to work with a specialty lightning protection subcontractor, a firm

Thanks Joel
the Lightning and Transients research Institute has been closed, I am
sorry to say. The paper is valuable and reassur

the grounding system should be of low resistance.

Hi Drake,
Dont know why not. Meet code as much as possible:
1) AWG of the lightning down conductor adequate?
2) Use non reversible, listed connector to splice array SGEC
to down conductor
3) Do you need an additional ground rod? Resistance to earth OK?
4) These rod/rods need to be bonded to t

Hello Wrenches,
Can the supplemental grounding electrode conductor be connected to a
lightning protection system?
We have a case where it would be difficult to run a GEC down a multi
story building, but have a convenient copper wire, from a lightning
protection system, that runs to a rod.
