https://groups.io/g/LightningProtection This resource of more than 3,100 members is the Internet's only professional technical forum on Lightning Protection, Lightning Safety, Power Quality, & Keraunic (lightning shock) Medicine. We are the reference for electrical engineers, safety Officers, administrators, and journalists concerned with lightning safety, surge and harmonic mitigation, accurate peer-reviewed information, and keraunic (electrical shock) medicine. CO-MODERATORS & LIST MEMBERS include recognized experts who generously give their time in fostering accurate information &, especially, saving lives (lightning safety).

WE DISCUSS these areas and more:
 * Boating safety
 * Broadcast tower protection
 * Facilities protection, outside and indoors
 * Faraday cages
 * Fraudulent claims & specifications
 * Generators & genset maintenance
 * Grounding, grounding defects, & testing/maintenance
 * Harmonics & mitigation
 * Home, outdoor lighting, electric gate controls … and structure protection
 * Informing meteorologists & public safety personnel in accurate lightning facts & safety
 * Lightning myths & safety
 * Medicine: causes, corrections, & the treatment & effects of electric shock
 * Power Quality (PQ) concerns are covered
 * Power sags & outages
 * Protecting electrical systems & electronics from transient voltage surges
 * Protecting people, electronics and structures from lightning
 * Recreation: indoor & outdoor swimming pools, golf courses, hot tubs, ....
 * Surge protective devices/transient voltage surge suppressors (SPD/TVSS)
 * Surge suppression techniques and faults
 * Testing & maintenance tools
 * Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) & batteries

THIS LIST IS NOT a substitute for correctly solving site problems. That requires hiring (i.e., paying) a qualified, experienced power quality Electrical Engineer (E.E.) or Professional Engineer (P.E.)! We like hearing about difficult situations & scientifically proven effective solutions.
