🔍 Key Concepts

• Direct lightning strike vs. nearby strike and what damage each can cause to radio equipment • Purpose and limits of a lightning arrester/protector in radio installations • Role of grounding and cabinet shielding in protecting equipment and personnel

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when a cloud-to-ground lightning bolt carries extremely high voltage and current directly into an antenna or mast—can any practical device fully stop that energy? • Consider the difference between reducing damage from surges and static versus completely protecting against a full, direct strike. Which of the options is described as absolute protection? • Ask yourself: which answers describe realistic mitigation measures, and which answer addresses whether any device can truly protect against a full, direct hit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the meaning of direct hit (not just induced or nearby lightning effects). • Separate devices that reduce or divert lightning energy from the idea of total protection from all damage. • Consider whether exam questions about lightning protection often test the limits of technology, not just the names of devices.
