A common lightning protection circuit consists of a series resistor and a shunt voltage suppression device designed to clamp the transient to a tolerable level. There is an issue when selecting ...

Every year I spend the holidays with my mother in Wisconsin. Each time I’m there, I look outside her living room window and see the lightning protection rod on the roof of the house across the street.

Reference [1] describes a process for the design of lightning protection that transforms the transient experienced by the components during the lightning test transient into the reference transients ...
