Lightning protection of communication sites: revisited

In this paper we analyze the lightning protection system of 48 communication and broadcasting towers situated in similar isokeraunic contours in Sri Lanka. The results show that a direct strike to an antenna structure in a metallic tower is rare irrespective of the presence of an air-termination or...
