  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.
