APPENDIXES Appendix I.--RULES CONCERNING THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF LIGHTNING RODS Below are given some of the rules and recommendations concerning the installation and maintenance of lighting rods that have been adopted by various authorities or technical organizations in England, Germany, and the United States. They are given here as examples of what the various organizations referred to regard as the best practice in protection against lightning. A. ENGLAND THE PHOENIX FIRE OFFICE RULES" FOR LIGHTNING RODS IDEAL METHOD OF PROTECTION In the report issued by the Lightning Research Committee in 1905, it is pointed out that lightning discharges are of two distinct characters, named the A and B flash, respectively. The A flash is of simple type; it can be prevented, or its violence diminished, by the silent discharge which goes on during a storm from various points of a building. Its path is prepared beforehand by ordinary electrostatic considerations, and it strikes pointed conductors in preference to others. The usual system of two or more conductors, if properly constructed, affords sufficient protection against a flash of this kind. The B flash is a disruptive discharge of much greater suddeness, which falls on a building without preparation; it may strike the building in several places at once, and is no more likely to select points than knobs. A column of hot air, like that of a chimney, is the path most favored by this kind of discharge. Points are no protection against it; the only way to obtain absolute security is to inclose the structure in a metal framework, constituting what has been described as the "bird-cage" system of conductors. In a modification of this system for an ordinary building a sufficient practical...

Download or read book Lightning Protection for People and Property written by Marvin M. Frydenlund and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word lightning conjures up many different thoughts, depending on who you are. For instance, an engineer might wonder, "How can I protect this building?" A computer manager might ask, "What protection is available to save my equip ment?" A golf course manager wants to warn golfers about life-saving measures to take during a lightning storm. And on and on the needs go. In fact, the variety of backgrounds of people who need to understand lightning, its effects, and pro tection techniques ranges from the highly technical to the illiterate, creating a very difficult educational problem for the lightning protection industry. In this book, Marvin Frydenlund presents a refreshingly new melding of the many pieces of the lightningjigsaw puzzle that are scattered throughout numerous libraries, magazine and newspaper articles, codes, standards, statistics, research, and the enormous body of information called "old wives' tales, myths, opinions, and snake oil sales literature." He has created a broad-spectrum review of the en tire field oflightning that is easy to read and understand, and it will benefit anyone who wants to study and comprehend the subject.
