Protecting Remote Monitoring Sites from Lightning Damage

How-To Guides / , , , ,

Protecting monitoring sites from lightning damage is an important consideration for monitoring equipment and stations that are deployed in areas that are prone to lightning strikes. Even lightning that does not directly strike a site may cause damage by traveling through the ground and into buried sensors or cable. Proper planning for such events can
