About This Episode
In this episode, E&S Grounding Solutions President David Stockin discusses Part 3 of a 5-part series about lightning strike scenarios and the ways to protect against them. This episode focuses on side-flash (or side-splash) lightning — a phenomenon where lightning current jumps from a struck object to a nearby person or structure. Understanding side-flash hazards and the bonding and shielding strategies that mitigate them is essential for engineers designing lightning protection systems for buildings, substations, and industrial facilities.
