The guys at PowerCET have produced a text called "Lightning Hardening and Advanced Surge Protection". You'll have to google them to find it, but it's very well done.

Best to ya,

BJC,

Thanks for the link to technical manual 5-690. This will help me get some of my taxes back.

I also sent info on this to 2 of my buddies in the electrical business as well.
