On the study of modernized lightning air terminal

In a direct strike lightning protection system, three components are considered to be of great significance; that is lightning air terminal (LAT), down-conductor (DC), and earth terminal (ET). Since the time of Benjamin Franklin, the founder of lightning rod, until today there are many types of LAT...

Electronics Nuclear engineering In a direct strike lightning protection system, three components are considered to be of great significance; that is lightning air terminal (LAT), down-conductor (DC), and earth terminal (ET). Since the time of Benjamin Franklin, the founder of lightning rod, until today there are many types of LAT that have been installed on building structures around the world to provide protection to the human being and equipment from the effect of lightning strokes. In general LAT could be classified as in compliance with standard and non-standard method. However, generally people at large are unable to differentiate between standard and non-standard method of protection involving the use of LAT. The latter performance and its scientific explanation provided by vendors have created controversies among lightning scientists and practicing engineers.
