Lightning Protection
Author(s): Vernon Cooray
Publisher: The Institution of Engineering and Technology
Date : 2009
Pages : 1070
Summarizes the state of the art of lightning protection as it stands today
Provides the necessary scientific background to enable the engineer to make
appropriate judgments in situations where conventional engineering solutions
may be inadequate
Lightning is a natural phenomenon that has always fascinated humans. It is
also a destructive force, and the science of protecting humans and their
belongings on earth is called lightning protection. This book provides the
reader with a thorough background in almost every aspect of lightning protection.
The contents of the book, distributed over 23 chapters, covers all aspects of
lightning protection including lightning parameters of engineering interest,
the evaluation of the risk imposed by lightning strikes, the art of installing
lightning protection systems on various structures, basic principles and procedures
necessary to protect electronic equipment in buildings from lightning flashes, grounding
in lightning protection, the function of surge protection devices, protection of power
transmission lines and telecommunication towers from lightning, the interaction of
lightning flashes with wind turbines, various aspects of lightning strikes to trees,
medical and engineering aspects of lightning strikes to humans, and lightning warning systems.
In addition to providing essential information on lightning protection for engineers and
scientists, the book is intended for use as a textbook on lightning protection at a graduate
and postgraduate level.
