Course synopsis<\/strong>:<\/td>This course introduces students to the fundamentals of lightning protection and grounding system. Emphasis will be on the lightning protection system (LPS) design as per standards requirements based on lightning and grounding fundamentals. The course also exposes students to step by step design of an LSP for a given structure. In addition, the course covers the field work on soil resistivity and ground electrode resistance measurements. At the end of the course student should be able to critically design an LPS and a substation grounding system including using application software and tools.<\/td><\/tr>
