Lightning protection scenarios of communication tower sites; human hazards and equipment damage

This paper provides comprehensive analysis on the lightning protection scenarios in 48 communication and broadcasting towers situated in similar isokeraunic contours in Sri Lanka at 79°–81° East and 5°–10° North. The investigation has been conducted to study the hazardous environment created on the...
