There are over 22 million lightning strikes in the USA every year

摘要

There are three major areas of concern from a lightning strike to your facility; personnel safety, environmental impact, and financial consequences. Each of these concerns can have a substantial impact from property loss, business interruption, systemic breakdown, production loss, and potential cleanup costs (which may include environmental lawsuits and costs incurred from Federal oversight). A lightning strike can damage computer networks, machinery, PLC's, and diagnostic or control systems which could easily cause a facility shutdown.
